Introduction to Dermatoglyphic Paper

Dermatoglyph paper is made from either pure wood pulp or a pulp blend. Pure wood pulp paper is crisp, smooth, and has a clear texture with a pure color. In contrast, mixed pulp paper appears dull and uneven, with a soft texture and rough grain. Its surface has pronounced concave and convex patterns, requiring higher machine pressure during printing to ensure clear text. This paper is categorized by grammage, such as 70G and 80G offset paper. Thicker grammage is ideal for sample covers and tender documents, while thinner grammage suits gift packaging and bookbinding covers. The texture is classified into tactile, which is felt directly on the surface, and visual, which is perceived through graphic design. Dermatoglyph paper is affordable and meets the printing needs of factories of various sizes.
