Coated Paper
Coated paper is a type of paper that has been treated with a coating to improve its surface properties, such as smoothness, brightness, and printability. The coating is usually made of materials like clay, calcium carbonate, or other polymers, which enhance ink retention and reduce ink absorption, resulting in sharper images and vibrant colors.
Types of Coated Paper:
-
Glossy Coated Paper – Offers a shiny and reflective surface, ideal for magazines, brochures, and catalogs.
-
Matte Coated Paper – Provides a non-reflective, soft finish, suitable for books and high-end printing.
-
Satin/Silk Coated Paper – A middle ground between gloss and matte, offering slight shine with reduced glare.
