PAPER Matters III

When you are choosing paper to design with consider this:

Gloss Finish:
The coating keeps the paper from quickly absorbing ink; glossy papers may dry slower than others.   The gloss finish gives a design a photographic look. *Terms such as high gloss, gloss, soft gloss, or semi gloss, are used to indicate the amount of shine.  Satin finish is not as shiny.

Matte Finish:
Text and Images printed on matte papers appear soft and not as reflective as gloss finish.  Matte finish is not shiny at all. *You can print on both sides of matte finish papers.
