Paper Type Help
Smooth Wove
Wove Is a smooth, uncoated paper. If you're as old as me, you may have referred to it as bond paper back in the day. It Is the most popular stock for day-to-day writing at an entry-level price.
Textured Laid
Laid paper has a ribbed, textured surface that adds a tactile feel to the paper. It harks back to the times before the mechanisation of paper making.
Felt Marked
I love this paper. Whilst I call it the Old English range due to its soft shades of Old English White and Ivory, it comes from an Italian paper manufacturer that traces its origins to Verona in the late 1800s. The felt marking is subtle and created while the paper is still wet. The pattern is born with the paper: soft, natural, all over. I think of it as being akin to the surface of freshly fallen snow.
I'm often asked which paper is better . . . the answer is down to personal preference and budget.
Print Type Help
Digital
A cost effective full-colour flat print
Hot Foil Stamping
Make it shine! A metal die is stamped onto the paper with a heat actived coloured foil. The result is a sunken effect with glistening shine. Think gold foiling but it's not limited to gold.
Thermographic Raised
A raised print that is formed by sprinkling a resin powder onto wet ink. When heat is applied the resin melts to form a sublte raised effect.
Engraved Embossed
Engraving produces the finest quality stationery. It is not only something you see; it is something you feel. It's an ancient technique employing an engraved metal die that's filled with ink. The die is pressed onto the paper under great force. The result is an exquisite embossed (raised) print that excels with fine detail that's superior to thermography.
