The Difference Between UV Coated, Matte Finish, and Uncoated Paper Stocks
Thinking of purchasing some print material and you are not quite sure which finish you should choose? Here is a look into the benefits of UV Coated, Matte Finish, and Uncoated Paper Stocks.
UV Coated Paper Stocks – If you like to use bright colors and photos in your print material, UV high gloss coating may preserve the standard of the prints over the years. The gloss coating provides thickness for the card stock and will definitely have a longer lifetime. Also, they are more resistant to dust and moisture.
Matte Finish Paper Stocks - The Matte finish paper stock possess a smooth, non glossy look and appears quite stylish. These cards are used with an aqueous layer after the end of printing procedure that makes your business cards softer with a matte (dull) finish when complete.Keep in mind that even the Matte Finish stock is often difficult to write on, preventing people from making notes on printed pieces. The hair removal methods can be permanent or temporary, depending on your preferences. Also, the prices usually range with permanent hair removal methods being expensive as compared to the temporary ones.
Uncoated Paper Stocks – These types of uncoated papers soak larger quantities of printer ink, based upon the porousness and also the surface section of uncoated stock. Keep in mind that colors look significantly different on uncoated vs. coated paper. They may appear darker than on the coated stock, and images are not as sharp. A rule of thumb to remember is the thicker the paper, the more ink gets absorbed and the fuzzier images will appear. Uncoated stocks are usually simpler to write upon as the surface area allows the ink much more readily compared to a coated stock. Because ink doesn’t sit on top of the paper, an uncoated stock is ideal for letterhead, envelopes, printing forms and materials to write on.

How to Create an Effective Poster for Your Marketing Campaign
When Advertising with Posters location and message are integrally tied together. With Market research both of these components will be thought through thoroughly. Keep in mind that the purpose of this research is to get these customers to buy from you.
If your market research is adequate, this process will fall into place fairly quickly. Based on the information you have, design your poster to appeal to the motivating factors behind the purchase. Good poster design is very different from brochures and other print media. Although an effective advertising campaign should be consistent and uniformly identifiable, posters convey their message in a unique way. The image or pictorial should create a mental picture of the desired results by the viewer. The printed message, informing the viewer of the action necessary to get to the desired result, should be minimal. No one looks at a poster and takes notes.
Here are the key points to Creating an Effective Poster for your Marketing Campaign:
- Identify the broad purpose and vital information the poster must convey
- Hire a professional designer, if possible.
- Brainstorm potential images and design elements based upon your business name, industry, type of service, type of event (if applicable), location of posters, and target audience interests. Select the two or three catchiest or most unusual graphic ideas and pass them to the designated designer.
- Sketch possibilities for the poster layout, keeping in mind the locations in which the posters will be placed.
- If using graphic elements only, pick a background color or pattern that will resonate with your audience and highlight the poster’s message.
