Quick Summary
English finish is a type of paper finish that is smooth but not glossy. It is an intermediate finish between a machine finish and a supercalendered finish. This finish is achieved through a higher degree of stack beating, greater pressure between the machine calender rollers, and calendering at a higher moisture content compared to a standard machine finish. English finish paper is considered a step up in the book paper scale and is used for various printing applications.12
