When it comes to the choice of paper, several factors need to be considered. If the main goal is to present the original color of the picture, then a bright, high-white, thick-coated paper that reflects more light and reduces distortion of the picture‘s colors would be a good choice. However, thick coated paper may not be conducive to text reading and is heavy. Therefore, when choosing paper, it is advisable to weigh the following aspects:
Coated or uncoated paper?
Coated papers are more reflective and have low ink absorption, thus rendering images finely; the thicker the coating, the sharper the image.
Printing on uncoated paper usually produces softer colors, making it ideal for fine art or illustration, and text is easier to read.
Glossy or matte?
Glossy papers are often used for high-quality publications with lots of images.
However, many matte papers also work well and can make a book stand out from the competition.
Thick or thin?
Thick papers tend to evoke images of art and "highbrow" books.
But thin paper can still be made to look gorgeous with density, brightness and coating.
Density or opacity?
The opacity of a paper affects its "show-through", so when choosing a paper, test it by placing it on a black and white stripe.
Elements on the page can also affect show-through, so if this is a concern, scrutinize the layout carefully. Often asymmetrical grid lines are more likely to show through than symmetrical grid lines.
Heavy or light?
Heavy paper is often associated with luxury, but luxury comes at a price, not only in terms of the price of the paper itself but also in terms of mailing and portability.
High or low brightness?
The brighter the paper, the more blue light it will reflect and the less distorted the printed image will be, but it may also cause glare that interferes with reading.
In addition, more bleach is needed to achieve high brightness, which affects the paper‘s durability and ease of printing.
Recycled paper or virgin pulp?
As environmental protection becomes more and more important, choosing environmentally friendly paper has also become an important consideration in the production of publications.
The importance of paper selection for paper-based publications cannot be overstated. By taking into account a number of factors in paper selection, the type of paper best suited to the needs of the publication will further enhance the overall quality of the publication and the reading experience.
