I not sure whether or not this paragraph is ok...check it..

Through the comparison, we can not only understand the quality of nano coating but also envision the trend of colorful inside paper in magazine.

You've got to be kidding. Why use the structure "Cannot only...but also"? This isn't great English, and sounds a bit like wordy padding. Keep it simpler with just affirmative statements. "We can...and..."
More importantly..."..envision the trend of colorful inside paper..." Are you describing the pages within the magazine, which are colourful? (OK, I'm not American) If so, you should hyphenate 'inside-paper', though it's still a bit of a wordy way to describe 'pages'.
I also think you should use a definite article (the) before 'magazine'.

So I'm a pedant!

I would place a comma after but and something doesn't seem to flow with the latter part of your sentence. A word in there needs to be pluralized. I would either change paper(s) or magazine(s). If your intention is to not have a plural word then you need an article, such as "a," in front of "magazine."

Put a comma before but. The rest is great.
