The paper is textured, which may not be suitable for those who prefer a smoother surface for their printing needs. We also have an article about printing onto colored paperIt covers digital printing, but the effect is the same for litho printing too. The most commonly requested paper we print onto is a pale cream “watercolor” type paper, which is usually used for invitation printing. In fact, we'd say that the vast majority of textured paper enquiries we receive are for exactly this purpose! With that in mind, we’ll use this as an example as we go along and look at the pros and cons of using textured papers.

As litho and digital are two different printing technologies, it will come as no surprise that they both handle printing on textured paper differently. Let's take a closer look at color printing with both digital printing and offset litho printing: It supports most media like watercolors, ink, paint, and pencil, making it a great option for crafts, placecards, wedding announcements, invitations, and more.The most commonly requested paper we print onto is a pale cream “watercolour” type paper, which is usually used for invitation printing.

This unique paper texture is similar to what you’ll find on handmade paper, as laid paper features a subtle grid pattern that feels bespoke and handmade. Laid paper is very versatile and looks beautiful for printing stationery, brochures, and invitations. The vast majority of printing is done onto smooth white paper, be it gloss, silk or uncoated. This is perfectly fine for most types of printing, and since many different paper weights are available there is usually sufficient choice for most applications. It’s when creativity comes into play that other kinds of paper are considered and paper with a textured finish is often one of the first that comes to mind. Especially if you want to design a flyer,business card or leafletthat stands out from the competition. If you’re looking for textured paper for printing, Strathmore Inkjet Paper is a great option that produces excellent results in desktop inkjet printers.

The lithographic printing process uses wet inks and rubber rollers, and thus is much better for use with textured papers. Using these in combination, the litho printing process can better apply the ink to all those tiny recesses in textured paper, creating a cleaner and more thorough print.It isn’t always easy to choose the right texture of paper, as there are many options for finishes, weight, and size. Think critically about what message you want to convey. For an event like a wedding, linen paper with crisp lettering could make an elegant first impression. However, if the event is a children’s birthday party, smooth and glossy paper might be a better fit. Some users have reported issues with the paper jamming in their printers, so it’s important to be mindful of this when using the product. It’s important to note that while adding a linen texture is a fantastic way to elevate your project, it can also impact your artwork – specifically when used in conjunction with metallic ink. The reflective quality of both the linen texture and the metallic ink on small text hurts the legibility. This is a rare combination, but something to keep in mind if you plan on using any of these options. In the examples below the metallic ink on the text alone poses no issue, but in combination with the linen texture it becomes a struggle to read in certain lights. The paper is 100% handmade, making it unique and special. (Greate for envelopes and other crafty projects!)
