Watermarked paper
This is an uncoated paper that can be recognised
from the design stamped onto its surface, giving it
an elegant and sophisticated look. This category
includes embossed papers, laid papers and
hammered papers.
Special papers
Papers and paperboards that have undergone
specific processes such as coating, laminating or
other procedures to achieve highly original visual
and tactile effects.
In short, when choosing between the various paper
types and weights available on the market, you need
to take the following into account:
The product you’re printing: as we said before,
each category of products has a recommended
grammage.
The durability required: if you want a long-lasting
print, opt for a heavier weight and a higher quality
paper.
The effect you wish to obtain: sophisticated, natural
or original… each type of paper can get a different
message across, so choose the one that best fulfils
your needs.
That’s all for our article on the different types of
paper for digital printing: have you decided which is
right for your project?
