WHY COATED PAPER?

Coated paper is generally used where th e detail of a picture, photograph or a graphical design is to be printed. A coated surface gives a degree to contrast, brilliance and detail far surpassing the uncoated product.

Technically, in coated paper, the hydrophilic fibers are buried and ink wettable pigments as well as adhesives can be used. The coated surface, composed of very fine pigment with a considerable volume of unfilled voids, accepts ink uniformly because of its superior wettability and flatter surface. Its ability to absorb ink evenly results in a uniform tone.
