Coated vs uncoated paper
Stock feel and ink hold — when coated print pops and when uncoated feels natural.
Coated
Smoother surface, richer colour, less absorbent. Common for marketing flyers and photo-led pieces.
Uncoated
Natural texture, easier to write on, softer colour appearance. Popular for letterheads and some premium brands that want a tactile feel.
