In practical applications, common printing materials are common paper, art paper, special paper, coated paper and so on. Common paper is cheap and suitable for mass printing. Art paper is favored for its luster and texture; Special paper is more unique because of its unique material and texture; Coated paper has better flatness and color reproduction.

As for some ancient poems and verses, ordinary paper can better meet their needs, and can show their colloquial characteristics.

If the printing material needs to be exposed to the outside environment for a long time, we need to choose durable and waterproof paper, such as specialty paper or coated paper. In addition, the price of printing materials is also a factor we need to consider. If the budget is limited, we can choose regular paper and improve the overall quality with better design and typesetting.

For example, if you choose offset printing, everyday documents can be printed just like plain paper. For digital printing, specialty paper and coated paper are more suitable because they are better suited to the paper requirements of the press.

In the end, we must not forget the contrast between printed material and a good poem. A masterpiece needs a proper piece of paper to hold its taste and posture, like a clear lake reflecting the blue sky. When we choose the printing materials with appropriate positioning, subject matter, environmental adaptation and technical advantages, we can show the artistic conception and connotation of the works in different cultural backgrounds and market environments.

Only when we find the most suitable printing material, with which to present our thoughts and touches, can we draw natural lines in the sea of paper.
