to Environmentally Sound Printing and Writing Papers


OPAQUE PAPERS

  • Opaque paper is a higher-quality offset with superior opacity. It is often used for books, magazines, and other types of communications.
  • "Satin," "Film Coat," and "Thin Coat" finishes refer to a very light clay coating, plus polishing to a very smooth, tight finish, also often used for printing such as manuals.
  • See also Lightweight Opaque paper, often used for financial, bank and stock reports.
