In inkjet printing, choosing a substrate isn’t just a matter of whether it’s compatible with the printing technology. The end application and the result we want to achieve also matter.<\/p>\n

An event ticket, a receipt or a badge do not always require the same substrate. Rigidity, visual finish and further processing are some of the factors we need to consider when choosing the most suitable cardboard<\/p>\n

Matte cardboard: versatility and functionality<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Matte cardboard is a suitable option for applications where we want a more neutral, functional result without compromising print quality.<\/p>\n

Its finish makes it a versatile choice for projects where functionality takes priority and the surface itself does not need to stand out.<\/p>\n

Glossy cardboard: when the finish is also part of the result<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For other applications, we may be looking for a more striking visual finish in addition to the substrate\u2019s technical performance.<\/p>\n

Glossy cardboard offers an alternative for projects where the final appearance of the printed product plays an important role.<\/p>\n

So, matte or glossy?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The choice will depend on the end use, the technical requirements, and the result we want to achieve.<\/p>\n

At chiasa, we work with matte and glossy cardboard for inkjet printing and help you find the option that best suits your project.<\/p>\n
