What is the best paper for writing on (journaling, coloring, etc.)<\/h4><\/div>
If the intention of your product is to be written in, like a training workbook or a coloring book, then we recommend 70# or 60# uncoated text. This paper is uncoated, meaning that any ink or pigment will absorb easier onto the page. Paper that is coated (matte & gloss), can be difficult to write on and smudges easily.

What is your thickest paper available?<\/h4><\/div>
The heaviest paper weight we offer is our heaviest paper weight is 14pt gloss or matte cover. This paper is not available for every product. Please refer to the pricing tool for your desired product for a list of available paper options.

What is your thinnest paper available?<\/h4><\/div>

<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between cover and cardstock?<\/h4><\/div>
There is not really a difference between cover and cardstock. The words can be used interchangeably. Cover simply refers to a “cover-weight” paper or cardstock that is thicker than the inside pages. However, if you are ordering a product such as postcards or greeting cards, the paper can more accurately be referred to as cardstock.
<\/a><\/a><\/a>
<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the best paper to showcase my art, photography, etc. ?<\/h4><\/div>
We recommend selecting a gloss or matte paper for your art or photography. Gloss makes the colors pop out more than matte, but matte is an increasingly popular option.

We also recommend selecting the thickest paper options available for your cover and inside pages so your product comes off as professional as possible!

Can I still write on matte paper?<\/h4><\/div>
You can still write on a matte coated paper; however, you will need to use a pen or a marker. Please note: both pen and marker will likely smear before dried.
