Question
What's the difference between matte coated and semi-coated paper?
Answer
The difference comes down to how much sheen sits on the surface. Both are coated papers, but they land at different points on the shine scale.
| Paper | Finish |
|---|---|
| Matte coated | Non-glossy, flat surface |
| Semi-coated | Subtle sheen, between matte and glossy |
Semi-coated is not as reflective as a true gloss, but it carries more shine than a flat matte. Choose based on the look you want for the finished piece.
