C1S is printing industry shorthand for “coated one side”. Likewise, C2S means “coated two sides”. These terms refer to coatings applied to paper by the paper manufacturer.
Different Coatings Lead To Different Results
Coatings can be glossy, matte or dull depending on the application and the desired effect. The more sheen to the coating, the more brilliant and vivid the ink colors will appear when printed. The duller the coating, the more subdued the ink colors will appear.
Coatings is easy and helpful in Image printing
Bear in mind that C1S and C2S refer to a coating applied at the paper mill before your printer gets the paper and prints on it. Thus, it is not to be confused with various coatings your printer may apply after the printing process, such as UV or aqueous coatings, varnishes or laminates.
