Print

Full Color

Full-color printing supports branded graphics, photography, illustrations and color-rich catalog or promotional content.

Inside Paper

80lb or 100lb Text Gloss + Aqueous Gloss Coating

Smooth gloss text with aqueous gloss coating enhances color saturation and image contrast while adding a light protective finish.

100lb Text Gloss + Aqueous Satin Coating

Aqueous satin coating provides a smoother, lower-glare finish than high gloss while maintaining strong color reproduction.

100lb Text Gloss + UV High Gloss Coating

UV high-gloss coating creates the strongest sheen among the listed inside-page options for photo-rich and high-impact content.

80lb or 100lb Text Matte Paper

Matte text reduces glare and provides a smooth, professional surface for text-heavy or refined editorial designs.

60lb or 70lb Text Uncoated Paper

Uncoated text provides a natural, writable surface suited to manuals, programs, workbooks and publications that may receive notes.

80lb or 100lb Cover Gloss + Aqueous Gloss Coating

Heavier gloss cover stock can be used throughout the booklet when a more rigid, substantial page is desired.

Cover Paper

Self Cover

Uses the same stock as the inside pages for a consistent, economical booklet without a separate heavier cover.

100lb Text Gloss + Aqueous Gloss Both Sides

A separate text-weight gloss cover with aqueous gloss coating on both sides adds sheen while remaining flexible.

100lb Cover Gloss Cardstock + Aqueous Gloss Both Sides

A heavier gloss cardstock cover adds stiffness and durability with aqueous gloss coating on both sides.

14pt C2S Cardstock + UV High Gloss Outside Only

A substantial 14pt coated-two-side cover with UV high-gloss coating on the exterior provides a durable, high-impact finish.
