Short Description:
Coated vs uncoated paper
description2
Coated paper printing and Uncoated Paper are two main types of paper. Coated book paper is coated with white paint on the surface of the original paper and treated with super calendering, which has a smooth, high-gloss surface, good ink-absorbing and ink-holding properties and is suitable for fine printing, and is widely used for high-grade book covers, colourful pictures, and merchandise advertisements. The uncoated paper is to maintain the natural surface characteristics of paper, the surface is more rough, strong ink absorption but relatively poor printing effect, the price is lower for general printing and writing purposes, such as book printing, writing materials, brochures and so on. There are significant differences between the two in the production process, characteristics and uses, the choice needs to be weighed according to the specific needs.
