Fresh run for paper (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsprint

'for paper' is the definition.
(newsprint is a kind of paper)

'fresh run' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'new' (synonyms).
'run' becomes 'sprint' (sprint is a kind of run).
'new'+'sprint'='NEWSPRINT'

(Other definitions for newsprint that I've seen before include "FT for example" , "cheap paper" , "Bearer of tidings" , "Print news on this kind of paper - what else?" , "Material for publication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
