How is the difference between coated and uncoated paper?

Howard Printing, Inc., FAQs
Paper is available as uncoated, coated both sides, and coated one side only. Coated means that the paper has a smooth finish to it. The coating can have a range of gloss, from a dull finish to a high-gloss finish. Coated paper is often used for 4-color printing because the colors “pop” more because they are “resting” on the coated finish rather than “soaking” into uncoated paper. However, many uncoated stock work very well nowadays with 4-color jobs.

What about long-coated GSDs?

Sundown Kennels F.A.Q.
quot;The correct GSD coat is relatively short with an obvious undercoat. As such it is quite waterproof. Some dogs are born with long coats which usually, though not always, are devoid of undercoat. Such coats are less useful and more difficult to groom, but many pet owners seem to like the long-coated version. Thus there is not strong selection against it, though very few breeders would deliberately breed from long-coated stock.
