Paper Choices

Understanding Paper Weights and What They Mean

  • For everyday printing: 20-24 lb paper is sufficient
  • For brochures, color prints, or double-sided material: 28-32 lb paper is preferred
  • For photos: Coated paper of at least 65 lb is used.

Paper Finishes: Glossy, Matte, and Satin Explained

After you've figured out what the weight of the paper signifies, it's time to focus on the finishes available.

  • Glossy Finish

    The first finish on the list is the glossy finish that offers a smooth, shiny surface that amplifies color saturation and the overall aesthetics of visual prints. These papers are most suitable for graphics or photo prints—anything with vibrant hues to showcase.

  • Matte Finish

    On the other side of the glossy finish is the matte finish paper that offers a non-shiny surface that removes glare from the equation while providing a perfect, clear surface for text. This finish is best suited for documentation where readability is of utmost importance or where documents will be viewed under strong light.

     
  • Satin Finish

    Finally, we have the semi-gloss finish that combines the benefits of matte and glossy finishes without bringing on the cons of either. These papers are best suited for projects where you want rich colors for all the visuals but cannot compromise on the quality of the text. This finish offers less reflection than the gloss finish while providing a solid surface for text, making it perfect for presentations, brochures, or mixed-use printing.

Choose the Right File Format

  • PDF is the most widely accepted format for print; it preserves layout, fonts, and images.

  • For vector designs, EPS is also acceptable; for high‑resolution images, TIFF works well.

  • If you have access, send the native file (InDesign, Illustrator, Word, PowerPoint) along with the PDF.

Set Up Your Document Correctly

  • Dimensions & orientation: Match the final print size and orientation.

  • Bleeds: Add 1/8" (0.125") bleed on all sides if colors/images run to the edge.

  • Margins: Keep at least ¼" white space if no bleed 

  • Color mode: Use CMYK for full‑color print; specify Pantone (PMS) colors if needed.

  • Resolution: All images should be 300 DPI at final print size 

  • Fonts: Outline or embed fonts to avoid missing‑font issues
