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…

If you can’t make proof prints on the same stock as the final, at least get something with a similar amount of OBA.
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, John JWL Images
