Match Paper for Education Book

[starcomp]

Hi
I have client that prints many educational books for schools. We used to printed on 60lb offset 4 color.
Now he came with a book that has a fine texture, and the color picture are much clear and sharp. So I showed some matte coated paper. The problem is, that altought the print will look good, so I promised, but when he tried to write with a pencil and use an eraser on it, the paper got smeared from the eraser which rubs of the coateing.
So, I am looking to some kind of coated paper, smooth paper, so the erase won't smear the paper.
Any help.
Thanks
Jacob

Jacob -

If you like the look and feel of the matte coated stock, but want something a little more durable, may I suggest a micro-porous coated paper-based inkjet paper?

Are you printing to SWOP or GRACoL?

We own an inkjet paper converting facility.
Please ping me back with details and I can try to help.

Thanks,
Ian

A Domtar Saturn Offset 60 lb should work. It pays to collect paper samples from different manufacturers so you can test them out when a client wants something special.
