Does anyone have a listing of what the gloss ranges are for the various paper coating types - Gloss, Matte, Satin, Dull, Uncoated?
Yes, I pretty much came to the same conclusion. Haven't been able to find anything online which gives any sort of a standard or guideline. Seems like mills have their own percentages that they follow. I've reached out to our mill rep to get the listing from them. Thanks for responding!
Hello Sophia Alice,
We appreciate every indivduals comments posted on this forum ........ yours re- Paper Gloss is just "gobbledygook"
I suggest you learn some Printing and Papermaking Terminology.

Alois, I think it's a Bot. At least, his/her recent comments in this forum sounds a lot like a Bot.

AFAIK there are still no standards, specifications, or tolerances in the paper industry. I've given educational seminars to TAPPI (technical association of pulp and paper industries) and those issues are not top of mind for them (or even on their radar).
