Tradition
White paper has been the standard for book printing for centuries, and this tradition has been maintained due to its effectiveness.

Cream paper is a great choice for book printing because it gives the pages a warmer, softer, and more premium look. Unlike bright white paper, cream paper is gentler on the eyes, making it easier and more comfortable to read for long periods, especially in novels, memoirs, poetry books, and other text-heavy books. It also reduces glare, gives the book a classic professional feel, and makes the overall reading experience more enjoyable. For authors who want their books to look elegant, refined, and reader-friendly, cream paper is a strong option.
