Question
What paper stocks work best for offset printing?
Answer
Offset printing works across a broad range of stocks, and the best one depends on the look and function you want. The choice comes down to whether you need images to pop, a surface to write on, or a heavier, premium feel.
| Stock | Best for |
|---|---|
| Glossy coated | Vivid images and rich color |
| Uncoated | Natural feel and a writable surface |
| 14pt and 16pt heavier stock | Premium postcards and covers |
- Coating drives color: gloss deepens saturation, uncoated mutes it slightly.
- Weight signals quality: thicker covers feel more substantial in hand.
