Coated vs. Uncoated Paper

Those who formerly believed high-end printing could only be achieved with coated papers are amazed to discover the advantages and value that uncoated paper offers, notes company spokesperson Mary Jean Cashman.

"With a new organic trend to colors and the influence of recent economic conditions, uncoated papers are making strides in popularity," she says. "When you need a high gloss, that's certainly a time to use a coated sheet. But there's so much more opportunity with uncoated papers—not mentioning the initial dollars saved."
