Top Adding - Paper For Your Publishing Project
Approximately 20% of the cost of your book is the paper. The type of paper you select can affect the price but more importantly it will affect the perception of its value to your customers. This article will give you a better idea how paper is classified in North America and should make talking with your printer a little easier.

If you are publishing novel or other book with few illustrations consider an uncoated archival paper. It might also be a little heavier which will add thickness to your book and reduce show-through. (If the paper is not opaque enough the text on the other side can show through.) Unless you've written a m

Paper for colour printing needs to be smoother to take the ink properly and whiter for better colour reproduction.

Paper comes in seemingly unending, confusing variety. Not only is the paper coated, uncoated, sized on one or both sides; it is matt, cover, offset, antique, text or newsprint and comes in a cacophony of weights and measures. Let's try to make things a little simpler.

Offset is an average quality paper commonly used for printing of all sorts. Matt is a higher quality paper, usually smoother so it will take the ink more consistently. Gloss is exactly what it says. The very smooth surface takes ink very accurately and produces more v

There is quite a bit of overlap in these terms and you could easily find an offset-gloss that is better for your project than a matt coated.

Paper can also be classified based on the manufacturing method.

It is usually thicker and is commonly referred to as antique. Machine finish papers are calendered to give a smoother surface a

Sheet size may also have something to do with the paper manufacturing process. If you are a fan of ‘which came first’ arguments then the paper came first and the press came later. However the press came before widespread use of machines for paper making so I still vote for the press size as the dominati

The weight per square meter is a European standard. You can see a very concise article in Wikipedia on paper size. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size) The system is based on a sheet of paper one square meter in area with an aspect ratio based on the square root of two (longer on one side than the other). Various paper sizes are obtained by halving the sheet on the long side to create subsequently smaller paper sizes
