Gloss Paper Gloss paper is commonly used in magazines and high‑colour publications. It has a smooth, shiny surface that enhances image sharpness and colour vibrancy.

Gloss stock is cost‑effective and lighter, with less bulk and opacity than matte paper. It’s a good choice when you want strong colour reproduction without adding unnecessary thickness or weight to the book. Satin / Silk Paper Satin (also known as silk) paper offers a low‑sheen finish with a smooth, refined surface. It sits between gloss and matte, reducing glare while still allowing colours and images to reproduce beautifully.

Slightly heavier than gloss, satin or silk paper is an excellent choice for photo books and illustrated titles where image quality is important without a high‑shine finish. Matte Paper Matte paper has very little sheen and provides a natural, soft reading experience. It is more opaque and has greater bulk, giving books a solid, premium feel.

This stock is commonly used for high‑quality photo books and publications where a tactile finish and readability matter. Because matte paper is thicker, it can increase the book's overall weight, so postage costs should be considered. Bond Paper Bond paper is most often used for paperback books that are mainly text‑based. It is uncoated, easy to read, and economical, making it ideal for novels, memoirs, and non‑fiction titles with little or no imagery.

Bond paper is not recommended for books with colour images, as the ink absorbs into the paper and colours do not reproduce as cleanly as they do on coated stocks. If you’re unsure which paper stock will work best for your book, don’t worry — we’re happy to help you choose an option that suits your content, budget, and printing goals.
