Inkjet addressing for direct mail on coated and uncoated stocks requires careful consideration of ink adhesion, print quality, and USPS compliance. Coated stocks (gloss, matte, or silk) produce sharp, vibrant addresses but need inkjet-compatible coatings or UV-curable inks to prevent smudging, making them ideal for postcards and colorful mailers. Uncoated stocks (smooth or textured) absorb ink quickly for faster drying and writable surface but may yield less crisp text or barcodes due to feathering, suiting letters or forms. Collaborating with AMi Direct to select optimized stocks and adjust inkjet settings is key for successful addressing.
