However, if you are printing a highly saturated color, we don\u2019t recommend printing a full bleed on the fold. Because the paper is uncoated and does not include a protective lamination, you may see some cracking in the ink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Specifics:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Linen paper is available in two paperweights, depending on your usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>100lb Cover &amp; 70lb Text Weight<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cover weight is great for items like business cards, greeting cards, hang tags, and presentation folders &#8211; things that need a bit more thickness to them.
