How to distinguish the printing quality of a picture album?

   Album printing paper generally uses matte paper, double copper paper, and double adhesive paper. When printing instruction manuals or brochures, there may be confusion and shoddy products. At this point, you need to know how to distinguish the material and importance of paper.

   The method of discerning the printing quality of photo albums with the naked eye.

Firstly, you need to know which paper is mainly used in printed manuals and photo albums, and you must recognize them with your naked eye.

   Album printing paper is matte paper, with a recognizable surface and texture.

The surface of the matte paper is non reflective and feels delicate and smooth to the touch. Commonly used for printing art albums with strong artistic appeal.

   The photo album printing paper is made of double copper paper, which can be distinguished by the naked eye on the surface.

The composition principle of double copper paper and matte paper is the same, but the surface coating is different. Double copper paper has a milky white coating on the surface, which looks very bright and feels very smooth, and will reflect under light. The printing of company brochures and supermarket brochures are generally made of double copper paper.

The photo album printing paper is double adhesive paper, and the texture can be distinguished by the naked eye on the surface.

Double adhesive paper, also known as writing paper, is similar to the paper used in printers, with a smooth white color. By carefully examining with the naked eye, you can clearly see the texture of the paper, which is slightly rougher than double copper paper and matte paper.

    A simple tool for identifying the quality of photo album printing.

The weight of paper is closely related to its thickness, with the heavier the paper, the thicker it becomes.

We can use a vernier caliper or a digital graphics caliper to measure the thickness of the paper (provided that it has been calibrated by a professional organization). By measuring the caliper, you can clearly know the thickness of paper with different grams.

   Different brands, different album printing quality.

We know that there are slight differences in the thickness of paper from different brands. When providing samples, it is best to first ask which brand of paper it is. When you have a certain understanding of the printing materials in the procurement manual and photo album, you can correctly judge whether the sample is consistent with the manual in your hand.
