following paper properties interact with the dry ink to determine the quality of images.

Brightness

A paper’s ability to reflect light is called brightness. Brighter papers produce images with higher contrast.

As a general rule, use brighter papers when printing documents with photographs, halftone images, or complex graphics.

NOTE: Blue-white papers contain ultra-violet (UV) brighteners that break down over time when exposed to UV light. As UV brighteners break down, the paper shade may change from bright white to a warm white (yellow cast). UV light exists naturally indoors and outdoors.

Finish / Smoothness

Finish is the smoothness or roughness of a paper’s surface. Paper is processed to have a specific type of finish, ranging from very smooth to highly textured.

Finish can significantly impact image quality. If paper is too rough, light patches and graininess appear in solid areas. Halftone images also appear grainy. Dry ink does not fuse properly to extremely rough paper, which causes deletions where the ink rubs or flakes off.

Smooth and coated papers produce sharp images because they reflect light more directly than rougher papers. Use smooth or coated papers for proper dry ink transfer, to ensure the best density and image detail, and to increase the appearance of glossiness. Using a highly calendered / very smooth paper is especially important when printing fine lines and detailed images.

A solid black on a cast coated sheet appears as though it has been coated or varnished.
