Enamel Finish is a commonly used paper in Offset Printing. Most people refer to it as "shiny" paper. It makes for sharper images with better contrast. Since it is a common paper its cost is not that much greater than most other standard papers. It is highly recommended for such projects as presentation books, church books, or any other project where photos or detailed graphics will be printed because of the greater overall quality received when printing on this type of paper.
