    Are you in Europe or elsewhere? I don't know anything about European brands. In the States, hands down the best uncoated paper is Monadnock. It handles 4CP images wonderfully. Other strong choices are Mohawk Superfine or Navajo, Smart Pegasus, Strathmore, any higher-end Neenah paper...

    Any premium uncoated will yield vibrant color. Even a cheaper sheet, really anything better than a commodity grade, will work as well. Too much of a tooth (anything rougher than an eggshell finish) will make it more challenging for smooth, strong color.

    Your printer will have to run his inks stronger in order to get good results, but anyone who knows their ass from their elbow in printing can take care of you there.

    • Yeah, I printed a piece on Monadnock Dulcet and it came out beautifully.Josev

    • I haven't had a chance to use Mohawk yet but I did throw in some samples on a problem job (that I was printing on Finch Fine) and the Mohawk looked so much better than the Finch.Josev
