Question

Can I write on uncoated soft touch paper with ink-based pens?

Answer

Yes. Uncoated soft touch paper has an unsealed, matte surface, so ink-based pens write on it easily.

  • Works with: ballpoint, rollerball, and gel ink pens.
  • Why it works: the uncoated surface accepts ink instead of repelling it the way glossy coatings can.
  • Good uses: appointment cards, notes, and any piece meant to be written on.

If your card needs a writable surface, an uncoated or soft touch stock is a dependable choice.
