What Is Offset Paper (Uncoated Woodfree)?
ورق الأوفست (also known as woodfree uncoated paper or bond paper) features a natural, non-coated fibrous surface with open paper pores. It is engineered specifically for exceptional ink absorption, crisp text legibility, and effortless handwriting receptivity.
