Printing:
Coated paper is often misunderstood to mean “glossy”. While a coated paper can be glossy, paper can also be coated in semi-glossy and matte finishes. Coated paper is simply a paper with an agent added to the surface. The purpose of the agent is to fill in the tiny pores and spaces between the fibers of the paper. When these little spaces are filled it helps to improve certain print qualities such as the brightness, sharpness and clarity.
Uncoated paper is paper without any kind of agent applied to the surface. An uncoated paper is best used on jobs that do not require an exceptional finish and perhaps print qualities such as brightness, sharpness and the clarity of images are less important.
Depending on many factors, the final printed colors may look quite a bit different than the colors of the digital art on screen. This color fluctuation is due to the way colors are rendered on screen vs how your eye views a color printed on paper. Some factors that can affect this are: the brightness of your monitor, the RGB color settings of your monitor, the amount of light in the room when viewing your printed piece, the angle in which you are viewing the print, among many other possibilities.
