uncoated
• Non-glare surface• Textured, Roughest -- minimally calendered
– Light scattered– Lowest paper gloss– Lowest printed ink gloss among coateds – Greatest amount of contrast between paper and ink
• Created to replicate look and feel of uncoated• End Uses
– Text, charts– Anywhere to minimize eyestrain– Writeable
• Marks more easily than dull (burnishing)– Pigments have not been compressed as much.
matte finish
25 xMAGNIFICATION
matte finish
• Non-glare surface• Micro-embossed surface, pattern from
rolls imparted by calenders• Excellent ink holdout for sharp halftone
reproduction• Softer images• Richer halftones and solids than mattes
silk/dull finish
25 xMAGNIFICATION
dull finish
• Coating formula and on line calendering technique produce a smooth, low gloss paper
• Looks like a dull -- prints like a gloss• Higher paper gloss than a dull• Similar coat weight to gloss• Smoother, harder surface than a dull• More uniform printing surface than a matte• Offers high level of contrast between paper
and ink film• Distinctive, silky feel• A.K.A. Satin, Suede
satin finish
25 xMAGNIFICATION
satin finish
• Calendered using smooth and polished steel rolls
• Smoothest surface • Highest printed ink gloss
• Highest plain paper gloss of coated finishes -- reflective
• Highest ink hold-out, lowest dot gain
• Best for showing fine detail
gloss finish
25 xMAGNIFICATION
gloss finish
• Brighter the Paper = Brighter the inks
• High Opacity = Heavy ink coverage Two-sided coverage
• Bulk/Stiffness = Dimensional stability Finishing/Bindery
• Surface Uniformity = Smooth ink lay
• Smoothness = Printed ink gloss
printability
• Elegant, sophisticated luxury items• Textured images• Illustrations• Textiles• Haptics
Dull and Silk Finishes
rich, tactile sense
• Text combined with imagery• Soft subject matter• Low-glare requirements• Financials
Silk and Dull Finishes
readability, clarity
• Detail in reproductions• Hard, shiny objects (cars, glassware)• Metallic inks• Solids and screen patterns• Reverse type• Tints and Varnishes
Gloss Finish
fine detail
• Flesh tones• Fine art reproductions• Product/Brand replications• Neutral white shade
Gloss and Dull Finishes
accurate, critical color
• Images rich in warm tones (furniture, food, fabrics)• Earth tones• Illustrations• Neutral and/or cream shades
Dull Finishes
warmth and depth
• Images using blue tones• High-contrast imagery• Hard, shiny, metallic objects• Black-and-white photography• Blue White shade

cool and crisp
• Items handled by consumers• Brand communications• Point-of-purchase material• Inserts• Direct mail• Caliper to weight ratio
