Thank you for your precise answer.
If the glossiness increases the contrast and is convenient
to decipher little characters (is it i or j or l?),
then it is fine for me.

Sorry for my english.
I mean scientific papers (math-physic-computer),
with sometimes color graphics and color text.
- I need realy recto-verso so that the volume of papers is divided by 2.
- I will also appreciate a fine quality:
With some ink or laser printer, the pages are not easy to read
because the little mathematical characters (exponent or subscript)
are not clear, and the characters of the other side of the page appear.
- the color and the syntax highlighting is very convenient for c codes
or other computing languages.
