GMG SemiMatte 250 OBA (0400055x) is a 10mil OBA-enhanced microporous resin-coated proofing paper designed for GRACoL 2013 and Fogra 51 certified proofing workflows. The OBA (optical brightener agent) formulation delivers a brighter white point to more accurately simulate the appearance of OBA-containing offset printing stocks. With outstanding media color consistency, a large color gamut, and instant dry performance with no matting even at high ink loads, it delivers the accuracy and reliability that contract proofing demands.
Compatible with all commercial thermal and piezo water-based inkjet printing systems — including Epson, Canon, and HP — GMG SemiMatte 250 OBA integrates seamlessly into existing prepress workflows without requiring specialized hardware.
