Paper Stock
Commercial printing paper is
divided into two broad
categories - - Coated and
Uncoated (sometimes referred
to as offset stock).
Within each of those
categories are
sub-categories by weight - -
Text and Cover
and Pt stock. Text
stock is the lighter weight
paper used most frequently
for the inside or body of a
book or catalog. It is less
expensive than cover weight
paper. Cover stock and Pt
are heavier and more durable
paper used for the outside
cover of a book or catalog.
