Coated Paper

Coated paper is a kind of paper with a smooth surface that makes colors and images look brighter and clearer. It’s covered with a thin layer that is similar to clay or gloss, which can prevent the ink from soaking in too much. This kind of paper is a great choice for printing photos, magazines, brochures and other things that need a fine appearance. In addition, the coated paper comes in different finishes, like glossy, matte, or satin, depending on the style you want.
