Understanding different paper types
Silk: Silk coated paper has a smooth, silky finish. It is neither as glossy as gloss-coated paper nor as matte as uncoated paper, offering a balance between the two. This paper type undergoes a coating process that enhances its texture and visual appeal. Writing on silk-coated paper with regular pens can be difficult as the coating may resist ink absorption.
Gloss: Gloss coated paper has a shiny, reflective surface that is achieved through the application of a high-gloss coating. This type of paper is commonly used for high-impact, high-quality printing where image sharpness and color intensity are important. Like silk-coated paper, writing with pens or pencils on gloss-coated paper can be challenging due to the smooth surface.
Uncoated: Uncoated paper has no surface coating, giving it a natural, more textured feel. It is widely used for everyday printing tasks, stationery, and books, where a more organic or traditional look is preferred. Uncoated paper is excellent for writing with any pen or pencil, as it absorbs ink well.
Textured: We use G . F Smith Accent Antique Alabaster for our textured card stock which also has matching envelopes if required. Similar to uncoated paper Accent Antique Alabaster is excellent for writing with any pen or pencil as it absorbs ink well. Originally developed by G . F Smith to meet a single client's bespoke request, Accent Antique was a pioneering paper that had an immediate impact on the home craft and cards market, and for good reason. Launched in 1997, the paper has a matt appearance and is soft to the touch, with a delicate natural texture on both sides (created by one of two specially designed rollers) that picks up a high degree of print detail. It is also acid-free.
