Paper is coated to improve the surface for printing or other functional uses. The coating provides a better background for ink contrast and holdout. The visual aspects of graphics on a printed surface are greatly enhanced by the coating resulting in more print definition and appeal, as well as improvements in print press functionality. Packaging is printed to provide point of purchase advertising on a store shelf.

Matte-finished paper (not glossy) provides better binding of the ink to the paper, resulting in longer lasting prints. Using Epson archival matte paper with Epson inks, the print could last 200 years if taken care of (according to manufacturer's claims).

The difference between paper finishes hinges on two values, contrast, and paper surface. Contrast refers to the ability of a paper to record a range of tones from the most extreme white to the richest black. Nearly all photographs will have a full range of tones, but depending on the type of paper you use one can either highlight the differences (with a high-contrast paper) or subdue them (with lower-contrast) depending on your preference and purpose.

Matte surface is a dull surface. The tin has not been re-melted (reflowed). Reflowed surface is very shiny and reflective. The tin coating has been given a flash heating process at a temperature just above the melting point of tin, wherein the tin melts and refreezes very rapidly, resulting in a reflective surface.

SynDECOR has excellent printability that maximizes ink and depth of color for higher print registration. It also has higher holdout for lower ink consumption and better pattern fidelity than coated paper. But the real advantage of SynDECOR lies in its special polymer base-an added feature that gives SynDECOR maximum resistance to water, scuffs, scratches and the rigors of everyday use.

The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time.

The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest.

No, the nature of cartridge paper means that the ink dots will spread more (Dot Gain). This has the effect of darkening images and colours especially colours which are dark to start with.

Read offsets occur on reading (extracting). Write offsets happen on writing (burning) a CD-R. Most CD record programs do not support write offsets (as EAC perhaps do not support your writer for burning). So, to create an exact (offset corrected) copy of your CD, you would have to compensate the write offset already on reading. So instead of specifing the read offset as sample offset for extraction, you would rather use the combined read/write offset.

The clocks in a distributed system inevitably drift away from each other. The amount of drift is unpredictable and varies with temperature, voltage, and age of the crystals. Consequently, periodical resynchronizations of the clocks are necessary if a notion of common time – synchronization – is to be established. There are two ways to resynchronize clocks. One way is to periodically check the difference and adjust each clock so as to reduce the offset among them as much as possible.

Offset printing is flat and Thermography printing is raised, similar to engraving. Thermography printing has traditionally been used for formal events, but recently has become popular for all occasions.

A glossy finish will have a much more shiny finish. The matte finish will not be as shiny. The resolution of the photos is the same for both options.
