Aesthetic Characteristics of Paper
Color - Warm or cool. May give the appearance of added image color. Color affects
the visual quality of the image, making it more or less readable.
Brightness - Brilliance or snap of the paper. It may also be thought of as the whiteness of the paper. The quality of the brightness affects color balance especially in four-
color printing.
Thickness - Measure of the thickness of the paper. Often referred to as Caliper.
Opacity - Degree of see-through of the paper. Opacity is greatly affected by additions.
When paper is printed on both sides, the opacity of the sheet must be high
enough to prevent see-through.
Texture - Added to the paper during the finishing process. Examples: Laid, Linen or
Vellum finish.
Refractiveness - Measure of light reflected from the paper surface. A textured paper will have low refraction, while a cast-coated paper will
reflect most light.
