Optical Conclusions™
One of the easiest ways to improve the look of your publication is by upgrading to a more visually appealing paper. This tool shows you how. In it you'll find seven of our most popular coated web papers—each one is printed with the same image to demonstrate the tremendous impact brightness, whiteness, and shade can have on your publication.
Next to each sample we've indicated the grade, TAPPI brightness, and L*a*b* specifications. We've also included an overview of the various terms associated with paper optics.
If you've already received a copy of Optical Conclusion™, here are the actual papers we sampled:
