Coated paper refers to a type of paper in which a layer of coating is applied to the base paper, thereby giving the paper excellent optical properties and printing performance.
There are two common types of printing paper in coated paper: coated paper and matte paper. The difference between the two can be observed on the surface of the paper. The one with a glossy surface is coated paper, while the one without a glossy surface is matte paper.
Newspaper is mainly made from wood pulp and the paper is often yellowish in color. It has a relatively low cost and is mainly used for printing large quantities of newspapers and books.
Dorin paper is also known as offset paper. Its characteristic is that the surface fibers are extremely fine. It is usually used for printing some high-end printed materials.
The natural texture created by the selection of pulp raw materials, the paper-making process resulting in the characteristics of the paper, the dyeing techniques, and the subsequent embossing processing techniques, all differ from each other. This leads to various types of paper with unique colors, textures, and patterns, constantly emerging in variety.
We can obtain sample manuals of various special-purpose papers from some paper companies, thereby selecting the suitable paper.
Only in this way can we ensure that the effect and tactile quality of the design when it is transformed into a physical object can best present the design itself.
Offset printing is also known as "Kodak printing". It mainly utilizes the principle that water and oil do not mix. On the printing part, grease is applied, and the non-printing part absorbs the appropriate amount of moisture. When ink is applied to the plate, the printing part repels water and absorbs the ink. Then, it is pressed onto the paper, and is widely used in modern four-color printing.
Offset printing
Offset printing involves engraving text and images onto wood, stone, copper, or rubber plates. The non-text and non-image areas are removed to highlight the text and images. Then, ink is applied and the printing process is carried out. Since the printing plate directly contacts the paper, it can leave indentations or thick edges of ink, giving a strong and powerful style impression. It is also often used in coarse-textured paper such as comic magazines.
Offset printing has become increasingly popular in recent years in the field of graphic design and printing. During the printing process, through the squeezing action of the scraper, the ink passes through the mesh holes of the graphics and transfers to the substrate. Due to the special nature of the spot color ink and the reproduction of retro and vivid color textures, it has been favored by many designers and artists.
Digital direct printing is a method of converting computer files directly into final printed materials. It is usually accomplished using laser or inkjet printers.
Printing Process
Apart from choosing the paper type and printing method, in order to create special visual or tactile effects in the printed materials, different printing techniques can also be incorporated. The common production techniques are mainly composed of four processes that are combined with each other: embossing, hollowing out, special coating, and relief effect.
The most common type of foil stamping involves pressing metal foils such as gold and silver onto text or graphics to give them a metallic sheen.
The hollowing-out technique is a modern method using laser cutting to create hollow shapes, resulting in a 3D creative effect.
Special coatings refer to the application of UV, varnish, or even other special materials on printed materials, which gives the surface of the printed items unique visual and tactile effects.
Relief is the effect where patterns or text on the paper are made to appear raised and recessed. It is also known as embossing/3D three-dimensional bulging. It is often used in packaging designs that aim for exquisite details and texture.
The combined use of different production techniques, along with the varying effects of different printing materials and methods, can transform print media into a wide variety of designs and unique artistic effects.
