Question

Can uncoated paper stock be written on with pen, pencil, or marker?

Answer

Yes. Uncoated stock is the best choice whenever you need to write on the paper with pencil, pen, or marker.

  • Uncoated cover accepts pencil, pen, and marker without beading or smearing.
  • Both 13pt and 14pt uncoated cover work well for writing.
  • 14pt is slightly thicker than 13pt for a bit more heft.

If people will fill in a card or note by hand, uncoated is the safe pick every time.
