Guide to papers

GLOSSY AND MATTE PATINATED

Coated paper is paper made glossy or dull as a result of the use of chemical additives deposited on the surface of the sheet during the manufacturing process.

These papers are white and have an extremely smooth surface that is the same to the touch.

The glossy coated paper (on the right in the image) gives brilliance to texts and images; the opaque one (on the left in the image) makes the print elements elegant with a natural effect.

The use of these papers is particularly suitable for printing CATALOGUES, MAGAZINES or PHOTO BOOKS, because they allow a clear and optimal color rendering.
