Letterpress paper Letterpress paper is the main paper used to print books and magazines in letterpress. It is suitable for the text of important books, scientific books, academic journals, textbooks for universities and colleges, etc. Relief paper can be divided into four levels: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 according to the distribution ratio of paper materials. The number of the paper represents the quality of the paper. The larger the number, the worse the paper quality.
Letterpress printing paper is mainly used for letterpress printing. The characteristics of this paper are similar to newsprint, but not exactly the same. Because the ratio of paper pulp and the knocking of the pulp are better than that of newsprint, the fiber structure of letterpress paper is relatively uniform, and the gaps between the fibers are filled with a certain amount of filler and glue, and they are also bleached This paper has good adaptability to printing. Slightly different from newsprint, its ink absorption is not as good as newsprint, but it has the characteristics of uniform ink absorption; water resistance and whiteness of paper are better than newsprint. Relief paper has the characteristics of uniform texture, lint-free, slightly elastic, opaque, slightly water-resistant, and certain mechanical strength.

This kind of paper is produced from mechanical wood pulp (or other chemical pulp) as a raw material, contains a lot of lignin and other magazines, it is not suitable for long-term storage. If the storage time is too long, the paper will turn yellow and become brittle, the water resistance is poor, and it is not suitable for writing. Printing ink or book ink must be used, the viscosity of the ink should not be too high, and the moisture of the printing surface must be strictly controlled during lithographic printing.

Offset paper Offset paper is mainly used by offset (offset) printing presses or other printing presses to print higher-level color prints, such as color pictorials, picture albums, posters, color printed trademarks, and some high-end book covers, illustrations, etc. Offset paper is divided into three types: special number, number one and number two according to the proportion of paper pulp. There are single-sided and double-sided, and there are two levels of super calendering and ordinary calendering. Offset paper has low stretchability, uniform absorption of ink, good smoothness, tight and opaque texture, good whiteness, and strong water resistance. Should use conjunctival offset printing ink and better quality printing ink. The viscosity of the ink should not be too high, otherwise there will be de-powdering and pulling. It is also necessary to prevent the back from sticking and staining. Generally, anti-fouling agent, powder spraying or interleaving paper are used.

Coated paper, also known as coated paper, is made by coating a layer of white paste on the base paper and calendering it. The surface of the paper is smooth, the whiteness is high, the paper fibers are evenly distributed, the thickness is uniform, the stretchability is small, it has good elasticity and strong water resistance and tensile properties, and it has good absorption and reception status for ink. Coated paper is mainly used for printing pictures, covers, postcards, exquisite product samples and color trademarks. When printing on coated paper, the pressure should not be too high, and offset printing resin ink and bright ink should be used. To prevent the back from sticking and staining, methods such as adding antifouling agent and dusting can be used. There are two types of coated paper, single-sided and double-sided.
