Paper for manuals and posters

[setoffo]

Hey all,
I'm not sure if this has been talked about in a different part of the site but I can't find any information about what paper to use for manuals and posters.

They are of course glossy, but not photopaper. Do you know the name of, either the actual paper or a paper that is very similar to the original?

I found these in the thread from "exocil", in cooperation with Spiral and Will. Perhaps any of you will have the answer to my question?





Thanks in advance!

I don't have any information about this paper, Exocil went to his printer with an original manual and he asked him to do the same

Oh alright heh, well I doubt the Swedes are as kind as that printhouse Exocil went to hehe
I search in Swedish for "papers for manuals" and found on the Stockholm University that they use some paper named Tom&Otto Silk.

It is available in 90-350g/m² with 30% gloss and it complies with a few "printing" standards for printhouses.. It has a very silk finish, "semi-glossy". Perhaps that doesn't make sense, but I'm just trying to find a suitable paper

Perhaps Exocil knows more about the actual paper?
Thanks for the info Spiral

Hey Exocil, thats alright!

I actually got hold of the manufacturer of the paper I've found and they have a showcase shop close to the city center, so I will go there hopefully tomorrow to check it out.

Will let you guys know what I find out
