To Buy Paper


Most printer paper is compatible for all machines but when you want to buy paper there are a few things to take into consideration. There are some that are not as suited some printers as others, the paper sizes can also be a factor. While most printers are suited to the usual A4 and A5 paper standards other printers are best suited to the larger paper sizes A1, A0. I have categorised printer paper into 4 different machine types so that you have a good idea which paper type is most usable in your printer machine.

Inkjet printer paper is ideally suited to inkjet printers, this includes everyday black and white printing to more comprehensive internal reports, manuals & presentations. There are 3 main types of inkjet printer technologies; thermal, piezoelectric, and continuous. They all work on the same principal of spraying variably-sized droplets of liquid (ink) onto your paper. Inkjet printers are the cheapest and most common type of printers and are now found in most homes.

Laser printer paper is best suited to laser printers. The process of how a laser printer works is as follows; a laser beam projects an image of the page to be printed onto a rotating drum with selenium that is electrically charged. Photoconductivity removes charge from the areas exposed to light. Dry ink (toner) particles are then electrostatically picked up by the drum's charged areas. Following this the drum prints the image onto the paper by direct contact and heat, which fuses the ink to the paper. Therefore the more susceptible the paper is to the toner the higher quality your printing will be. Also, if you use a higher quality paper then the life of your laser printer can be increased. All of the paper that we sell will not reduce the life of your laser printer. Laser printers are more suitable to the business customer as they are for high volume use.

Photocopier paper is ideally used in colour photocopier machines, it can also be used with other printers too but may not be as efficient as if you buy multi-use paper.

Multifunction printer paper is fine for use in any type of machine, including fax machines. About 50% of our paper is non-specialist paper and therefore fine in multifunction printers as well as the other types of printers listed above. Multi-use paper is often the most cost effective way to buy paper.

What ever paper you use, it's a good idea to try different papers from different manufacturers within the category of paper you use for your machine. Most printer manufacturers have their own branded line of paper which can range from very cheap to very, very expensive. Some third party companies do also make very good quality paper which will give you great results so don't rule them out. You will also find they have a large selection of different sizes paper as well.
