Coated paper is more reflective and often, even if not properly shiny, has a sheen to the surface. If you need crisp, detailed, high-fidelity photographic reproduction, then this is an advantage as the print will be clean and sharp and the ink won&#8217;t &#8220;bleed&#8221; into the surrounding paper, which can leave a fuzzy effect. While both coated and uncoated paper can last a long time, coated paper is generally not as resilient as uncoated paper.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a9f803 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a9f803\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"graf\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Potential downsides are that coated paper is not good for writing on and so it&#8217;s not suitable for diaries, journals, workbooks, coloring books, and so on. While there isn&#8217;t much price difference between coated and uncoated papers, uncoated paper may cost more for certain types and generally speaking, coated paper is often the more economical option.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6714b4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6714b4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"graf\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In short, coated paper is higher quality, more economical, and gives better print results for images, photographs and high-resolution graphics.
