Properties of book paper

Uncoated book paper is a machine finished paper which is mainly used in book printing. During production of the paper, fillers are incorporated to achieve maximum bulk. This means that compared to coated art paper, uncoated paper feels thicker although it has the same paper weight. In comparison to art paper, uncoated paper has a 1.4 times higher bulk. Unlike art paper which is coated, this paper stock is uncoated, making it the perfect choice for printing text only and spot colour illustrations. To reproduce a lot of photos in a book in top quality, it is better to use a coated stock such as art paper.

Material characteristics

Uncoated paper is commonly used to print standard black-and-white books of all genres. Both paperbacks and hardcover books can be made of uncoated paper. The paper is also suited to produce simple brochures since it makes short publications bulkier. Due to its relatively good lightfastness and ageing resistance, uncoated paper can be used for archiving as well.
