The paper is half the job.
Print the same file on two stocks and you get two completely different objects. Most briefs pick the stock in the last five minutes. This page exists to move that decision earlier.
Six families. One very nice shelf.

Coated
Satin and gloss, 95gsm to 350 plus a 420 artboard. Right when images do the work.
Uncoated
No glare, easy to read and write on. 80gsm through to 340.
Enviro

Luxury
Gmund Cotton, Mohawk Superfine, Neenah Classic Linen, Conqueror Laid, Extract and Buffalo Board.
The unusual ones

How to choose.
- Will it be held? Then weight and texture matter more than finish.
- Is there a big solid area? Uncoated will soften it — sometimes exactly what you want.
- Is it being embellished? We almost always laminate first — it gives foil and raised varnish the best finish. Tell us the finish and we’ll set it up.
- Is it being written on? Plenty of beautiful stocks are terrible with a pen.
