Getting the Most Out of Coated and Uncoated Papers

Besides the visual aspect of the paper, the biggest difference between coated and uncoated paper is how they react on press. The coated paper will usually hold out the ink and fountain solution more than the uncoated paper. This would suggest the press person would need to reduce the amount of ink and fountain solution when running coated paper compared to uncoated paper if they are printing to a specific ink density.—Brian Fenner, NewPage
