How it behaves in production
- Reads honest and quiet — the paper the type designer would pick.
- Ink sinks slightly; foil sits crisp; letterpress kisses without deep bite.
- Thermography (raised-ink) reads as a glossy faux-emboss on this stock — call for it on small cards (sheet <200mm).
Common questions
- Is Uncoated smooth 18pt dyed through?
- No. Uncoated smooth 18pt is not a dyed-through sheet, so a cut edge will not match the printed face. If you need a coloured edge on this stock we add painted edging as a separate operation.
- Can you letterpress on Uncoated smooth 18pt?
- Yes — it is one of the techniques we run on this stock. Letterpress ink is semi-translucent, so on darker shades it reads tone-on-tone; on light shades it prints as expected.
- What weights do you stock Uncoated smooth 18pt in?
- 18pt. Heavier weights can usually be duplexed to order — ask and we will confirm before quoting.
- Can I see it before I order?
- Yes, and you should. Screens flatten texture and shift colour. We send physical samples of any stock in this directory before you commit.
