What paper should my book be printed on?

Category: Designing a Book

This depends on the kind of publication you’re publishing. Matt coated paper is usually best for artbooks, where a book contains high quality colour images alongside areas of text. Silk coated paper is also a popular choice. Bookwove is usually the best paper for books with predominantly text, like a novel. Gloss coated paper is sometimes used for titles with high quality imagery and minimal text. Remember to look out for the FSC logo which is assurance that the paper has been sourced in a sustainable manner.
