Paper


Specifying paper used to be fun. Today, choosing paper stock involves juggling issues relating to cost, technical matters and sustainability, and that's before we even start thinking about appearance and texture, or the role of electric paper.

Firstly you have to think about the surface of the paper. The general rule would be that the smoother the paper the better it would hold an image. If you decide that a coated stock is going to be best for your project, it's worth considering the variety of coated stocks that are available, and the effect they will have on your images.
