ColorGATE launches high-end proof papers

For professional contract proofs for offset and gravure printing applications, ColorGATE now offers a new product—CG Isoproof—high-quality proof paper specialties in grammages of 200 and 245 g/m2, both in either semi-matte and gloss quality. With brilliant colour reproduction and finest colour nuances even in dark or shaded areas, the new CG Isoproof media are superior to ISO Coated v2 (ECI), the reference colour space for coated offset paper according to FOGRA39.

CG Isoproof specialties offer neutral paper white and outstanding colour stability with absolutely no optical brighteners; optimum media reference white eliminates the need for any paper simulation. Certified by Fogra Forschungsgesellschaft Druck e. V., all the CG Isoproof formats meet the requirements of ISO 12647-7:2007. Another seal of quality is the "CA approved" label from Color Alliance, a globally active certification cooperation.

This paper is optimised for use with ColorGATE RIP Software using proof technology. Due to its micro-porous surface, it has the best drying characteristics and outstanding resistance to water and ageing. Best possible flatness is guaranteed, even for high ink application.

CG Isoproof is available as roll goods (30 m in length) from authorised sales partners in the following widths: 17 inches (43.2 cm); 24 inches (61.0 cm); 36 inches (91.4 cm); 42 inches (106.7 cm); 44 inches (111.8 cm); 50 inches (127.0 cm); 54 inhces (137.2 cm) and 60 inches (152.4 cm).
