How to Select the Right Texture/Finish
Some grades of paper are available in a variety of finishes.
Depending on which one you choose, a paper finish can be
responsible for the feeling or mood projected from a printed piece.
The right finish can add personality, richness, and appeal to your
document. The selection is virtually endless as paper manufacturers
continue to develop and market new finishes every day.
The following are descriptions of common paper finishes.
Smooth finishes
•
Satin – Also called dull finish, this coated stock has a reduced
gloss finish.
•
Gloss – This smooth shiny surface is coated and
Supercalendered, resulting in high reflective qualities. A
Supercalender is a series of polished stainless steel rollers
which compress the surface fibers and add gloss to the sheet.
•
Matte – Matte-finished papers are smooth with non-glare
surfaces; used for photographic or coated stocks.
•
Dull – Flat, reduced gloss finish on coated paper; slightly
smoother than matte.
•
Laser – Flat, smooth finish that is Supercalendered for
optimum performance on laser and xerographic equipment.
Rough finishes
•
Vellum – Vellum is a rough, toothy paper Supercalendered
just enough to make the surface uniform.
•
Wove – A fine mesh screen used to make this paper leaves a
slight crosshatch or woven pattern on one side.
•
Laid – The wire used to create a laid finish leaves a “striped”
finish.
•
Felt – Richer, thicker papers that are ideal for embossing,
watermarks, or special textures.
•
Linen – Steel rollers emboss a pattern on both sides of the
paper to simulate a linen cloth pattern.
