Question
What paper stocks can I choose for Book Printing?
Answer
Book printing offers a wide range of paper stocks, often more than 60 options, and each one changes the look, feel, and weight of the finished book. Choosing the right stock is as much about the reading experience as it is about appearance.
| Stock type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Uncoated text stock | Novels and text-heavy books, easy on the eyes |
| Coated gloss | Photo books where images need to pop |
| Premium silk | Portfolios and high-end presentations |
- Uncoated reduces glare and feels natural for long-form reading.
- Coated sharpens photos and boosts color.
- Heavier stocks add durability and a premium hand-feel.
