träfritt papper, sidenmatt bestrykning


Explanation:
Eftersom redan "matte" [matt] förekommer i uppräkningen tror jag att "dull" avser vad vi i dagligt tal kallar "sidenmatt bestrykning".
Förklaring från engelsk sida: "Coated papers are described by their finish: matte, dull, or gloss.
Gloss- The majority of magazines today use gloss paper, the property responsible for coated paper's shiny or lustrous appearance. Gloss papers are less opaque and have less bulk and are less expensive than Dull and Matte papers.
Dull- Smooth surface paper that is low in gloss. Dull coated paper falls between matte and glossy paper.
Matte- A non-glossy, flat looking paper. Matte papers are higher in cost and in bulk.
