Is this for newsprint proofing? End rolls from Web?

Yes, end rolls from the web press. Newsprint, book, premium...all uncoated. We haven't quite figured out how to make the ink stick to the coated stock so we buy a semi-matt roll for those. I'll have to check and see what brand that is.

Gmg paper is the pest paper I believe but pricey. Most of European gmg users are using gmg paper but glossy 260 instead of semi 250. Here, in US price is more important than quality and most companies are inclined to use cheaper alternatives. I was in the same boat. Well, you get what you pay for. I tested many papers in the last months trying to find suitable alternative but I may stick with gmg paper. I found some decent papers but the color gamut is smaller. It's maybe OK if you are trying to match the press but I had a hard time trying to match reds of Fuji FinalProof. Maybe new Vivid magenta in 880 series Epsons will help. I am just praying my Epsons will die next year, so I can replace them with 880s.
