Photocopier Paper

"Copier paper" is a term commonly used to refer to the type of paper that is typically used in photocopiers, printers, and other office equipment for making copies of documents. It is also known as "copy paper." Copier paper is designed to work well with photocopy machines, providing consistent and high-quality results.

Here are some key characteristics of copier paper:

• Size: Copier paper is typically available in standard sizes, with the most common size being A4 (210mm x 297mm) as the standard size In India.
• Weight: Copier paper comes in various weights, often measured in grams per square meter (gsm). Common weights include 65 gsm, 70 gsm & 75 gsm for regular office use. Heavier weights are available for specialized printing needs.
• Brightness: Brightness is a measure of how white or light the paper appears. A higher brightness level (usually measured on a scale of 1 to 100) results in crisper, more vibrant printed text and images.
• Whiteness: Whiteness is related to brightness and represents the overall color of the paper. It is also measured on a scale, with higher values indicating a whiter paper.
• Smoothness: The smoothness of the paper's surface affects how well it accepts ink or toner and how sharp the printed output appears. Smoother paper typically provides better print quality.
• Opacity: Opacity measures how much light passes through the paper. A higher opacity is desirable, as it prevents text and images from showing through the back of the page.
• Sustainability: Many copier papers are now made from sustainable sources and may carry certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) to ensure environmentally responsible paper production.

When selecting copier paper, it's important to consider the specific needs of your printing or copying tasks. Standard copy paper is suitable for everyday office documents, while specialty papers with different finishes or weights may be chosen for specific projects, such as brochures, flyers, or high-quality presentations.
