Guide to Choosing Uncoated Papers
Working with uncoated papers in print projects can be a challenge, but Finch Paper’s Uncoated Guide (free) makes the job much easier. The book explains how to choose the right uncoated paper for your project, how to account for color shifts when using uncoated papers, working with digital and offset presses, and also details the difference in Finch’s own uncoated paper products.
