clients always seem to think the glossy look is classy

it's really difficult to convince a client of using uncoated paper, phatlee's right almost everyone thinks glossy equals classy.

yeah but the worst thing is, on parts of it people should be able to write things down..
so i told them coated is not a good choice..then they told me that they "sort of" tried and it "sort of worked" but that the most important thing is (their printer who they work longer with then me) says it's so much cheaper since they print just about everything on coated paper.
i just sent them a lengthy email to convince both client and printer otherwise!!
btw. i have been starting to hate coated paper for this stuff since (cheap'o) mass-printers started to print flyers and shitty brochures on it.
coated to me is completely anti-chique.
it sux.

agreed. Some people instantly think shiny = better.
Fools.

janne, within coated paper there are so many differences and qualities, i wouldn't say all coated sucks, there are actually coated ones that are rrrreally nice, nicer than uncoated as a matter of fact, and that while i'm a big fan of uncoated paper.

well yes, i did not want to generalize all coated paper haha.. but you get the point.
don't go call me a paper-racist now! hahaha
- rabattski0
PAPER RACIST! PAPER RACIST! PAPER RACIST! mwahahahahaa.... hold on!!! in another thread i said that i loved generalizing coz it makes everything simpler and easier to understand! so within that context i changed my mind and say dito janne, all coated papers are fux0rs.
