Dutch term

oplagepapier

Dutch to English Other Printing & Publishing
I believe this is about the distinction between doing a test print on lesser-quality paper and doing a test print on the paper that will actually be used for the publication. The literal translation "edition paper" doesn't seem to be used.

"Daarom zijn testdrukken op oplagepapier, met de juiste drukpers de enige juiste voorbereiding."

production paper / production stock "As the print media is such a key factor in the colour reproduction of your print, Ashley House offers an extensive range of proofing, photo and production paper to match your every need. And, for something that extra bit special, we can even use acid-free archival stocks, excellent for limited edition printing."

"By applying the right amount of white ink, you can control the metallic effect and shininess specifically for each color. A paper tint simulation is automatically printed on areas without motive, to get an accurate simulation of the final production stock." (https://gmgcolor.com/support/help/colorproof/prototype-proof... )

"Direct-to-substrate proofing means that you can produce packaging proofs and mock-up on your customer´s individual original production stock. With this method, you do not have to use transfer films, primers, or pre-coated proofing media." (https://www.cgs-oris.com/en/cgs-blog/item/453-proofing-on-or... )

agree with Textpertise "paper stock" is what it's called here in the UK
see e.g.: https://www.printingforless.com/paperdescriptions.html
Textpertise Nov 22, 2021:
UK usage "paper stock" or "paper stocks" I believe the terms in use in the printing industry in the UK are: "paper stock" or "paper stocks". See, for example,
https://www.printingforless.com/How-to-Choose-the-Best-Paper...
In self-publishing, it is common for a printing house, when dealing with a prospective customer, to produce a sample volume containing a number of pages from the publication printed on each of the proposed paper stocks. This usually helps the author or publisher to choose from the types available.
Publication paper without an accompanying detailed description tends to refer to the entirety of papers in use for publications whereas the use of the word stock implies the choice of a specific type.

Not impressed with your source, Barend The specimen you have quoted contains numerous errors in grammar and I would not trust the company that has written it to be experts in English. For information on what's out there in terms of paper stocks, see, for example,
https://www.diggypod.com/book-printing/paper-types/
I would recommend just saying what it means, e.g. on the actual paper stock to be used for the issue or the edition, depending on what it is, or just for the publication if you aren't sure. I don't think you need to be slavish about translating the actual words.

oplagepapier (oplagevel)

Het papier (vellen daarvan) waarop de oplage van een werk wordt gedrukt. Voor sommige boekwerken wordt een speciale aanmaak besteld. Dummy's worden ook gemaakt uit oplagevellen. Als van de rol wordt gedrukt, is er natuurlijk geen sprake van 'vellen'.

Since the early eighties, the production value of wood, paper, publishing and printing has increased to account for more than 10 % of total European manufacturing.
The pulp and paper industry consists of five key business areas: pulp, publication paper (newsprint and magazine), high quality paper, paperboard and tissue.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eudn/2002/737/pdfs/eudn_20020...

The Commission’s worries were easily understandable given the industry context at that time. In 2001 the Commission was faced with the third major merger proposal in the European publication paper industry since 1995. In addition, the industry had come under close scrutiny because of a Commission investigation of alleged collusive behavior in the newsprint market that had run for several years. Furthermore, the company that was about to be purchased, Haindl, was
considered at the time a pioneer in the investment into new equipment and the use of recycled paper as an input for paper production. The Commission clearly felt that a particularly disruptive “maverick” competitor would be taken from the market.

Other companies like Haindl and Norske Skog specialize in the production of “publication paper”, which this merger is concerned with. Publication paper includes the broad categories of “newsprint” and “magazine paper”.

Note from asker:
Not sure about this one because in the example you give it lists publication paper as being different from high quality paper, and in the case of my text the "oplagepapier" is a so-called luxury paper. But interesting as a word for magazine and newsprint paper. Thank you for responding.
