A paper It is that material made with milled and bleached vegetable paste, which is arranged in thin sheets and is generally used for writing, drawing, among other uses. While, satin It is the treatment that is carried out, either to a fabric or to a paper, with the mission of leaving them smooth and super shiny.
Therefore, the glossy paper will be that of a larger brand, with matte shine.
For example, if we close our eyes and rest our fingers on a glossy paper, another mate and a third of type porous, without a doubt we will be facing three totally different sensations ... the sensation that a satin paper leaves to the touch is of softness and very smooth, to an extreme almost slippery due to how smooth it is. On the other hand, on the side of matte paper, which is much more opaque and drier than satin, the predominant sensation will be that of roughness. And the porous will feel as if it were touching a strainer, it has imperfections and of the three it is the one that will turn out to be the most permeable. If it is observed through a microscope, those mentioned imperfections that characterize it can be compared.
According to this, porous paper will be the ideal when it comes to painting a watercolor, the matte will be perfect when writing is about the thing, but also to print a photo or make a drawing that does not need too much presentation, since this is the most ordinary of the three types of papers mentioned. And finally, satin, generally coated, is the most recommended for making a single-ink line drawing or at the request of a technical drawing. On the other hand, images or photographs are also usually printed on glossy paper due to the excellent quality that it will give to them, which will make them possess a very special appeal.
