Heaven42
With Heaven 42, the company Scheufelen developed a bright white paper that opens up a new color space. Technical motifs in particular (gray tones, silver tones from 4c, strong light-dark contrasts) appear particularly brilliant and neutral on it. With unchanged separation (e.g. using the icc profile "IsoCoated_v2"), the print image appears considerably cooler with the same coloring and tone value increase. For warm tones (e.g. skin tones), color adjustments are therefore recommended.

We proof Heaven42 on proof paper with optical brighteners and measure the proof in M1 standard taking these brighteners into account. Please note: Our Heaven42 proofs are a good simulation of the original Heaven42 icc profile, but are not – like an ISOCoatedV2 proof, for example – color-binding and legally binding.

Scheufelen provides two icc profiles for download; we proof the profile from Heidelberg Druckmaschinen ("_HD").
