Book papers

A large classification of papers produced primarily for book and
publication printing and a wide variety of commercial printing
applications. Book papers include coated and uncoated papers in a
wide variety of basis weights, colors, and finishes.
Premium text
Premium text is a high quality text paper that is typically
chosen for its lavish surface texture, unique visual effects and
soft textured images. Premium text makes a sophisticated
statement for annual reports, announcements, fliers, and
simple brochures; however, it is not suitable for images with
high color saturation or fine line resolution.
Uncoated book
Also called offset or text paper, uncoated book comes in a
variety of rough to smooth finishes. Used for books,
newsletters, and direct mailers, this paper is often referred to
as the workhorse paper for general purpose use.
Coated book
Additional pigments and binders are used to enhance the
surface quality and printability of coated book. In offset
printing, coatings help set ink on the paper's surface rather
than allowing it to absorb into the fibers. This results in more
vibrant colors and crisper detail.
Coated paper is the best choice for offset printing of
magazines, calendars, posters and brochures. Coated stocks
are primarily designed for offset printing, however, because of
the important role coated stocks play in color applications,
companies are developing coated stocks optimized for digital
printing.
