Art Paper

What is Coated Art Paper?

Coated Art paper, also known as coated paper, is a premium printing grade with a smooth mineral coating applied to one or both sides of the base sheet. This coating — typically made from kaolin clay or calcium carbonate — creates a brilliant, high-gloss or silk-matte surface that holds ink precisely, producing sharp images, vibrant colours, and fine halftone reproduction.

Brotherhood Paper supplies high-quality art paper from globally certified manufacturers including Hi-Kote and Hansol, two of the most trusted names in the Egyptian printing market.
