Hi John,
Here is a short list:
EFI Proofing Paper 8245OBA Semimatt M0: 95.62|0.77|-3.20 M1: 95.74|0.93|-4.49
GMG ProofPaper Semimatte 250 OBA M0: 97.17|0.31|-3.24 M1: 97.30|0.48|-4.72
Felix Schoeller P51311 TRUST PREMIUM SATIN 200 M0: 95.75|0.85|-3.28 M1: 95.86|1.00|-4.49
Mitsubishi Papers SM 2551 P M0: 96.00|0.92|-3.58 M1: 96.11|1.11|-4.91
These are measured on a white backing with an i1Pro2. Some of them have slightly different values in their datasheets. I have profiled and used two of them. I have physical samples of the remaining two. They really come close to the real thing,
Best,
Refik Telhan

Thanks to all for this discussion. I have learned a lot. Ben’s comment also reminded me of a question I have wanted to pose…

For the past few years we have been using Epson’s Proofing Paper White Semimatte as a (relatively) neutral media for our Fiery-driven Epson SC P9000 proofing system. I am finding that increasingly, our clients’s files are being printed on paper stock loaded with optical brightening agents, so our “neutral” media appears quite “yellowish” compared to the final press output. I’m beginning to think that media that measures “neutral” is now anachronistic when proofing for publications.
So my question is, what might be a more appropriate paper for general-purpose proofing - recommendations gladly accepted!
Thanks,
