Fresh run of paper (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsprint

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

'fresh run' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'new' ('new' can be a synonym of 'fresh').
'run' becomes 'sprint' (sprint is a kind of run**).
'new'+'sprint'='NEWSPRINT'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for newsprint that I've seen before include "FT for example" , "Kind of paper this is produced on" , "Material for publication" , "needed for the papers" , "Bearer of tidings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
