Top 5 printer papers

It does not always depend on the capabilities of printing and copying devices. Often it is the right choice of paper for the printer that guarantees the quality and expected result. It differs in several parameters that you need to know before purchasing.

1. By class paper is divided into three types: A, B and C. This parameter is complex and includes the main indicators, which we present below. Category A is the highest grade of paper. It can be used on any complex high-tech equipment. Class B paper has lower quality scores. Class C has the most affordable price, and often it is enough for daily office work. Also for especially important and valuable documents they produce paper of the highest category - А +.
2. Standard format for many devices - A4. This is the most popular paper, the size of the sheet which is 297 * 210 mm.
3. Paper varies by raw material used in production. The highest quality composition - 100% cellulose. Paper made from wood pulp is considered the most economical, but it is not of high quality.
4. Density measured in grams per 1 square meter. The optimal parameter for printers and copiers - 80 g / sq. Smaller density can lead to wrinkling and jamming of paper, and as a result - to a malfunction of office equipment. The instructions for all devices indicate the recommended value of this criterion. Strictly adhering to it, you can be confident in quality and trouble-free printing.
5. From paper brightness depends on the contrast of the sheet and the printed font. The higher the brightness, the better the image is perceived by the eye. The lower it is, the grayer the paper appears.
6. Transparency characterized by the ability to pass light through the paper without scattering. With a small parameter, the printed font may shine through, which is absolutely unacceptable if you need to print on both sides.
7. Not clogged - An important criterion that helps keep office equipment in good working condition. Paper dust particles get clogged up in mechanisms, which leads to breakage. Special coating paper will prevent such consequences, so their presence in the composition is welcome.
8. Lack of smoothness may cause sheet jams and poor image quality.
