Coated papers have a clay coating added on their surface before calendering. The coating creates a gloss or
sheen on the surface of the paper and holds ink better. This allows for a better printing quality as it helps get a
smaller dot because the ink is less likely to run. Clay quality determines how bright, printable and strong the
paper will be. Paper quality is determined by brightness, smoothness, mechanical properties (resistance, shear, etc.),
and stability of thickness, among other aspects.
Coated paper finishes include:
Cast coated: very shiny
Gloss: the typical gloss seen on paper
Satin: not as glossy as gloss, but not as flat as matte
Dull: smooth surface but low in gloss
Silk: smooth surface but not reflective
Matte: non-glossy, flat; more opaque and bulkier
Coated paper is best for marketing materials because of the fact that the ink doesn’t run. This means your images
won’t appear fuzzy, which is best when you want to emphasize your logo. This paper is also more opaque, making
it better for two-sided printing. You won’t have to worry about any bleed through from either side. However, it is very
difficult to write on coated paper, especially with a pencil. Coated paper also may not print well in a home or office
(laser or inkjet) printer., Coated paper is suitable for offset printer .
Matte paper is dull and lusterless. It is used to produce good quality prints, but it doesn’t have a vibrant color finish.
An advantage to matte paper is that it isn’t glossy, so fingerprints and glare won’t be a problem. A good use of this
paper would be in a place where light would cause problems when trying to look at the sheet.
Double sides matt surface and smoothy surface, can bring your perfect printing effect. They are usually used for
printing flyers, posters, brochures, business cards, book, magazine, menu, training and marketing materials etc .
