The interior pages are being printed on a new stock — Rolland Enviro100 Satin — so I am here at Prolific in Winnipeg to press check. So far, everything looks great on this paper. Though it is 100% post consumer recycled and uncoated, its satin finish performs almost like a coated stock. Everything is more vibrant with less dot gain than on the previous stock we used.

Though I was fond of our previous stock, it didn't have any recycled content. With the switch in paper we're saving resources and achieving better print results. 

A large portion of the paper required for our print run.

77,000 press sheets for printing 10,000 magazines.

Live to you from The Prolific Group in Winnipeg, Manitoba! The next issue is on press right now and I am happy to be here in person to see it printed.
