1. What Is C2S Art Paper?
"C2S" stands for Coated Two Sides. Unlike uncoated or single-side coated stocks, C2S paper features a pigment coating on both front and back faces. This dual coating delivers:
Exceptionally smooth surfaces that elevate color saturation and image sharpness
Uniform gloss or matte finishes, ensuring consistent appearance no matter which side is displayed
Enhanced ink hold-out, reducing dot gain and improving edge definition
Available in weights from 100 gsm (lightweight flyers) up to 400 gsm (rigid covers and boards), this art paper spans the gamut from flexible to stiff, suiting a vast array of print and converting applications.
