The main types of cultural paper include coated paper, woodfree paper, newsprint, offset printing paper (double-sided offset paper), lightweight coated paper, Bible paper, and cigarette paper, widely used in cultural publishing fields such as books, magazines, newspapers, and picture albums.
Based on processing technology and uses, they can be mainly divided into the following categories:
Coated paper: A coating is applied to the surface of the base paper and calendered to improve smoothness and gloss, suitable for high-precision printing.
Coated paper: Divided into super, premium, and regular grades, used for picture albums, advertising, etc.
Lightweight coated paper: Lower coating weight, balancing cost and printing effect.
Smooth/dull coated paper: Low gloss, non-reflective, suitable for reading materials.
Uncoated printing and writing paper: Primarily made of chemical pulp, without surface coating, with good ink absorption.
