| | Choosing the Right Paper for the Your JobWritten by Maricon Williams
When choosing a paper for a project, it is important to make your selection cleverly. Paper influences all aspects of a print project, together with overall perception, reproduction quality, durability and mailing cost. Choose defectively, and you can spoil an otherwise great product.Choosing most appropriate quality paper for your project can be a very complicated task. Paper has many features to consider and new sheets are continually coming into market. The paper does not only exist to provide ink a foundation, but to enhance design of image you want to depict. First you have to consider availability of product early on. Next is personality of your piece, its life span, texture, color and coating and your budget, of course. For projects that advocate luxury, metallic, suede, leather and other specialty papers create a stunning first impression. If color and crisp image or photographic reproduction is your concern, a coated gloss, matte or silk sheet is always a great choice. If you are printing a job that mirrors environmental issues, you can use papers with recycled content, visible fibers or a mixed composition with a lower brightness and a texture that conveys environmental feel. In connection to brightness, blue-whites, which are very popular at moment, have a higher-brightness and allow colors to stand out, while warmer whites, which have a lower-brightness, are more pleasant to eyes. As for colored paper, it can enhance a one-color job and serve as a background cover, but it can also affect appearance of printed text and images. Blue ink on an ochre-yellow sheet will look green. If your job requires rigidity, such as business cards, make certain that paper is manufactured and guaranteed with specific thickness and stiffness.
