Slick (magazine format)

A slick magazine is a magazine printed on smooth, high-quality glossy paper.[1] The term may have come into use in the 1930s, and was used to distinguish these magazines from pulp magazines, which were printed on cheap, rough-textured paper. The slicks also attempted to appeal to a more elite audience. Examples of magazines regarded as slicks include Vanity Fair, Saturday Evening Post, Better Homes and Gardens, and Harper's.[2]
