The Top Three Finishes Of Paper

There are usually about three different types of paper finishes, they are uncoated, silk matte, and glossy.  

Uncoated paper has no extra coating or finishing, so there is no glare on the surface. As a result, this type of paper is suitable for prints that contain a lot of text.

Silk matte laminated paper is a type of paper coated with matte plastic film, making it both durable and smooth to the touch. The material is neither 100% glossy nor 100% matte. Despite its silky suede-like texture, you should be able to write on it with a permanent marker or a standard ballpoint pen.

Glossy paper has a smooth surface because of a chemical coating, which makes the paper highly reflective. The conditions under which glossy prints are displayed must be carefully considered, especially lighting.
