3. Coated paper - the first choice for covers and inserts

The characteristics of coated paper are smooth surface, a certain glossiness, bright colors, and suitable for printing exquisite patterns. Coated paper is used for the covers, inserts, or brochures, picture albums, etc. of many notebooks. Because the surface is coated with a layer of paint, it has weak ink absorption and is not suitable for writing with a fountain pen, but it is very durable as a cover.
