Product Features
Technical Overview
The S042118 paper is cut to the Super B standard size of 13x19 inches, equivalent to 330.20 x 482.60 millimeters. This large format accommodates full-bleed proofs and oversized layouts without the need for trimming or tiling. The 155 g/m² grammage provides a substantial, durable feel that resists curling and handling wear.
A sheet thickness of 6.50 mil (0.17 mm) contributes to the paper's rigidity and professional handling characteristics. The semi-matte finish optimizes ink absorption and drying times for inkjet printers, reducing smudging and ensuring sharp dot retention. This combination of physical and surface properties supports high-fidelity proofing across a range of inkjet devices.
