paper grades can be described in many ways, this can be confusing as a paper can come in many different finishes. Below is n explanation of some of the more common paper terms and the application they are most suitable for.
Uncoated Paper
Uncoated paper is exactly what it sounds like – paper that has no extra coating or paper finishing. Since there is no coating, there is no glare on the surface. This makes it ideal for prints that have a lot of text or reading materials. Since there is no coating, this is the most porous paper, which is the best for smudge-less writing with the widest range of pens and pencils when compared to the other finishes. All bond stock paper is uncoated. Color copies, black and white copies, and flyer printing typically use uncoated paper for the low cost.
