| Differences in craftsmanship | Wet Process Pulp-Dyed | Surface Coating Dyeing |
| Dyeing Timing | During the pulp stage (before paper blank formation), pigments penetrate evenly into the fibers | In the finished paper blank stage (after forming), only the surface coating shows color. |
| Color Performance | Color develops throughout the entire surface from the inside out, with clear, unbroken color that shows no white showing even after repeated folding | With only the surface coating showing color, the core layer remains the original color, making it prone to color difference and delamination during folding |
| Color Fastness | Level 4-5, colorfast to rubbing, and does not fade over long-term storage | Level 2-3, surface is easily scratched and faded |
| Color Difference | AAE≤0.5, with highly consistent color between batches | AAE ≥ 2.0, Significant color difference between batches |
| Texture Compatibility | Supports various textures including fabric, wood grain, embossing, and pearlescent | The surface coating limits texture expression; embossing easily breaks through to reveal the underlying layer, resulting in poor depth and texture effects |
| Eco-friendliness | Low VOC, no coating, recyclable | Contains a plastic coating, resulting in high VOCs and significant recycling difficulties |
