Glen,
"stationery" is just plain sheets of paper. There are qualified versions of stationery as well, e.g., "stationery-letterhead", so this would just be another form of that - think special paper used for cover letters or resumes that otherwise behaves and is used like plain paper.
Technically we could use "fabric" as a top-level media type with qualified versions for different fabrics and finishes, e.g.:
fabric
fabric-cotton
fabric-glossy
fabric-high-gloss
fabric-inkjet
fabric-linen
fabric-matte
fabric-semi-gloss
fabric-tweed
fabric-waterproof
however I would consider those types to be specific to fabric printing, e.g. curtains, clothing, etc., and not to sheets of specialized paper.
