Yes. Different paper stocks and finishes can change how colors look. Gloss makes colors appear brighter, matte gives a softer look, uncoated stock looks more natural, and UV gloss adds extra shine to highlighted areas.
Choose the 14 pt. Cardstock (Coated Front + Uncoated Back) paper type. The glossy side enhances color while the uncoated side allows easy writing with pens or pencils.
Keep borders at least 1/8 inch inside the safe zone and extend background colors into the bleed area. Avoid placing borders too close to trim edges since slight shifts can happen during production.
