Heaven42
With heaven 42, the company Scheufelen developed a high-white paper that opens up a new colour space. Technical subjects in particular (grey 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 colour and tone value increase. For warm tones (e.g. skin tones), colour adjustments are therefore recommended.

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

Scheufelen provides two ICC profiles for download, we proof the profile from Heidelberg Druck ("_HD").
