How to choose the right paper for book printing
in China

• China book printing technology and paper making
  technology have a long history, and today's book
  printing services in China can also be exported
  to the world. With the technology and low prices
  for printing in China, more and more publishing
  houses and self-publishing authors from all over
  the world choose China book printing.
• However, as a professional China book printing
  company with more than 20 years of experience, we
  have also seen many book printing designs. But
  unfortunately, many designs have appeared a
  "renderings designers" situation. Because the
  book renderings made by book printing designers
  are very beautiful, but they lack the ability of
  book printing, resulting in poor actual effects
  in their final printed books.
• So, today I want to popularize the types and
  characteristics of common paper with you. I hope
  that book printing designers can create superior
  designs using China book printing paper and
  methods.

  less coating processing in coated paper. With the
  advancement of modern coating technology in book
  printing China, the quality of light weight
  coated paper has gradually improved. The
  advantage of light weight coated paper is that
  the printing cost is low, so using it as the
  inner page paper for book printing helps to
  balance the cost of book printing. In China book
  printing, they are often used for magazine
  printing and brochure printing.
