paper quality

Stock weight, finish

Paper quality refers to the characteristics that determine how suitable paper is for a particular use, including weight, thickness, brightness, smoothness, and opacity.

High-quality paper typically has a consistent texture, resists yellowing over time, and handles ink well without bleeding or feathering.

In printing and publishing, paper quality significantly affects how colors appear and how durable the finished product will be.
