Features That Make a Big Difference
Weight
All paper packages display a "weight". This number refers to the weight in pounds of a ream of paper (500 sheets) cut to a specific size for that grade of paper.
20 lb. paper is the best choice for everyday copying and printing. Heavier weight paper (24 lb. and up) has a more substantial feel and is a more appropriate choice for presentations and double-sided copying and printing. In addition, heavier weight paper has less "show-through" to the other side because of the higher opacity.

Brightness
Brightness measures light reflectance of the paper. The higher the number, the brighter the sheet of paper and the better the contrast is between the paper and ink or toner.
Higher brightness papers make your work look more professional and make text and images pop off the page!

Equipment Type
Matching the paper to the office equipment it will run on is critical to the end result. For high-speed copying, 20 lb. Copy Paperis best. It will run trouble-free though these types of machines and withstand heat for longer periods of time. When you need a paper for multiple projects and office equipment, select a Multipurpose Paper. These papers are designed for use with a variety of machines for flexibility in copying and printing. For printing on Inkjet or Laser printers, use a paper designed for these types of printers. The surface of all Inkjet Papersis specially formulated for optimal ink drying and absorption, so your printing won't smear. Laser Papersare engineered for withstanding high heat and its surface is smoother for excellent runnability.
