—— Understanding Paper

Uncoated vs. Gloss

Choose Your Surface

Understanding the distinction between uncoated and gloss paper is essential to choosing the right sheet for your project.

Uncoated

LENNA by Archway

Uncoated paper has a natural, tactile surface that absorbs ink into its fibers. This creates a softer, warmer aesthetic that feels authentic and organic in your hands.

The higher smoothness rating of LENNA (measured in Sheffield units) means the surface is carefully engineered for excellent print fidelity while preserving that distinctive uncoated character.

Ink Absorption

Natural fiber absorption for warm tones

Gloss

BRAVO by Archway

Gloss paper features a smooth, sealed surface that keeps ink sitting on top. This results in sharper detail, more vibrant colors, and exceptional image reproduction.

BRAVO's SCA+++ gloss surface with 80 ISO brightness delivers maximum pop for photography and full-color printing. The low Sheffield smoothness number reflects its ultra-smooth finish.
