What are the differences in paper types?

Lisa Downing

Press Papers come in:

130# Cardstock - The heaviest (thickest) press paper.
100# Heavyweight - Lighter weight. Pairing it with Soft Touch Laminate will make it feel thicker.
100# Heavyweight Elite Lustre - Same as the 100# HW. Paired with HD 6 color upgrade will give the closest look to an emulsion based Photo Paper.
100# Text - The thinnest. Similar to a magazine page.
100# Heavyweight Linen - Textured. Not pure white so it may print a bit dark. Has more of a "paper" feel.
100# Heavyweight Watercolor - Textured. Not pure white so it may print a bit dark. Has more of a "paper" feel.
105# Pearl - May print a bit dark. Has a "shimmer" to it.

E-Surface - Standard Lustre finish.

Metallic - has a silver base, so colors may be muted.

Vintage Silk - has a slight texture. Does not fingerprint and cannot be copied well on scanners.
