Many types of Office Paper are specifically designed for specialized
applications as well as general purpose printing and copying
Four major categories:
•
Multi-Purpose Paper
•
Color Copier Paper
•
Recycled Paper
•
Security Paper
Office Paper comes in array of colors, finishes, weights, and sizes.
Sizes – U.S. standard measurements 8.5” x 11” (Letter), 8.5” x 14’ (Legal)
Ream – The basic bulk unit of paper equal to 500 sheets of paper
Brightness – Measures how much light the paper will reflect. The higher
the number the brighter (or whiter) the paper. A 96 brightness is visibly
whiter than a 92 brightness
Basis Weight – The weight of 500 sheets of paper measured in lbs. The
higher the weight the thicker and more substantial the paper (20lbs and
24lbs are common weights)
Post-Consumer Fiber – The previously used paper material contained in
recycled paper. Expressed as a percentage
Smoothness – The smoother the paper the sharper the printed image.
The lower the smoothness number the smoother the paper
