Question

Can I use uncoated soft touch paper for business cards if I want to write on them with ink?

Answer

Yes. Uncoated soft touch stock takes pen ink well, so writing on these cards is no problem. The surface absorbs ink instead of letting it bead.

  • Ink: ballpoint and gel pens both write cleanly
  • Good uses: appointment cards, notes, and signatures
  • Feel: a smooth matte surface that still writes like natural paper
