That single fact is why photographs look sharper and colors look deeper on gloss than on uncoated stock: less ink spread means finer detail survives, and a smoother surface reflects light more evenly so dark areas read rich instead of muddy. Menus, product sheets, real-estate pieces, event programs and anything built around photography all benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tradeoff is reflection and writability. Under direct overhead light a gloss sheet can throw glare, and pen ink beads on the surface instead of drying into it. If people will write on the sheet or read it under bright lighting, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/matte-paper-digital-sheets-12x18\"\u003ematte paper sheets\u003c\/a\u003e use the same weight of stock with a matte coating instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetting up your sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild the file at the full 12\" x 18\" size, 300 DPI, CMYK. Add 0.125\" bleed wherever color runs off the edge and keep essential content 0.25\" inside the trim. If you are ganging several pieces onto one sheet, leave a visible gutter between them so a small cutting variance does not clip the neighbor, and put your own crop marks on a separate layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100LB gloss text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e none — the gloss is in the sheet itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" x 18\" flat sheet, untrimmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting:\u003c\/strong\u003e full color one side (4\/0) or both sides (4\/4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 4 business days after artwork approval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGlossy Paper Digital Sheets FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetup and finishing questions are answered below.
