There will be no glossy or shiny appearance visible on any uncoated paper stock.

Uncoated paper, as the name suggests, has no coating on the surface. Unlike coated paper, which is treated with a thin layer of clay and other compounds, uncoated paper has a natural finish that is rough to the touch and lacks the glossy finish that coated paper has.

The absence of a coating means that the fibers that make up the paper are more exposed, leading to a more porous surface. When light hits an uncoated paper surface, it gets diffused and scattered by the rough fibers, resulting in a soft, muted reflection rather than a sharp, mirror-like reflection.

Uncoated paper is popular for its natural look and feel, making it a great choice for materials that need to convey a sense of authenticity or tradition. It is commonly used for products such as business cards, letterheads, envelopes, and notepads. It is also commonly used for book interiors, as it is more comfortable to read and handle compared to coated paper.

Uncoated paper also has other practical advantages over coated paper. It is more absorbent, which means it can handle ink and toner better, resulting in sharper and more vibrant print output. It is also easier to write on with pen and pencil, making it ideal for products such as notepads, forms, and other written materials.

In conclusion, uncoated paper lacks a glossy surface due to the absence of a coating. Its rough surface diffuses and scatters light, resulting in a soft reflection rather than a sharp one. Despite the lack of gloss, uncoated paper is a popular choice due to its natural look and feel, as well as its practical advantages in printing and writing.
