Uncoated paper is paper with an untreated surface, most often seen on postcards or letterhead. Because uncoated paper is 'open', it is easy to write or print on afterwards. For a more rustic, raw and classic look, uncoated paper is often used. This type of paper is particularly suitable for printed matter with a lot of text. However, there is also a trend towards using uncoated paper for printed matter with images, although it gives a more matte and dusty look.
