What type of paper does BookOne use for printing?
We have a selection of extra opaque uncoated paper or gloss/matte coated papers depending on the quality necessary for each job. Our uncoated paper is available in a basis weight of 60# and our coated papers are available with a basis weight of 80# or 100#. Uncoated paper: Paper that does not have any kind of coating. It has no sheen to it and can be written on easily. Coated Paper: The coating can be gloss or matte. Coated paper generally produces sharper, brighter images and has better reflectivity than uncoated paper. Basis Weigh: The weight in pounds of 500 sheets (one ream) of a standard basic size. For example, the standard basic size for text papers is 25×38″. A ream of basis 70 text sheets in that size weighs 70 lbs. The basic size for cover papers is 20×26″. Weighing 500 sheets of any grade of paper in its proper basic size will determine its basis weight. In other words, 500 sheets of 17×22″ 24-pound Bond will weigh 24 pounds. The heavier the basis weight, the heavier the pap
