What Is the Difference Between Printer Paper and Copy Paper?

While copy paper is generally lighter (70-80 GSM), which are perfect for high-volume requirements, printer paper has a higher grammage (80-100 GSM) for a smooth finish that improves ink absorption.

Our copy paper is perfect for photocopying large volumes of text-based documents, while our printer paper, thanks to its higher brightness, works best for detailed graphics and colour printing.  

What Is the Best Printer Paper for High-Quality Prints?

Premium printer paper that ranges between 100 to 120 GSM is ideal for high quality prints. From the brightness that makes the colours pop to the smooth finish, these types of paper prevent ink from bleeding through and offer a much more substantial, satisfying print. 

If you want to print photographs or more vivid visuals, opt for photo paper with a glossy finish from our catalogue. These offer professional quality pictures that bring the colours and details to life.

What Is the Standard Size of Office Paper?

A4 is the standard size of office paper. Its size is 210 x 297 millimetres (8.27 x 11.69 inches). This size is ideal for most office documents. 

What Does GSM Mean in Relation to Paper?

GSM or any reference to grammage stands for grams per square metre and is a measurement of paper thickness and weight. Grammage refers to how much a square metre of paper would weigh. That means higher GSM (100 and above) represents the values for thicker and heavier paper. 

Standard copy paper is within the 70-80 GSM range, while more premium or card stock paper is usually around 100-200 GSM. GSM ratings help determine the durability and quality of the paper and help you decide whether it’s suitable for the task you require. 

What Is A4 Paper Size Used for?

A4 paper is ideal for printing documents like letters, reports and brochures. A4 is the default size for most printers, copiers and notepads. 

What Are the Common Uses for A3 Paper?

A3 paper is twice the size of A4 paper, coming in at 297 x 420 millimetres (11.7 x 16.5 inches) and is perfect for printouts and copies that require a larger format like:

• Posters and Signage  

The size is perfect for posters, flyers and signs. You can read text clearly and even comfortably have visuals or graphics on the page without looking too small.

• Presentations and Charts  

If you have a presentation at work or school, A3 prints are ideal for those who need more space to show detailed information clearly. 

• Architectural and Engineering Drawings  

A3 is perfect for showcasing technical drawings, blueprints and architectural plans.

• Brochures and Folded Documents  

A3 paper can be folded to create multi-page brochures, newsletters, or programs, making it versatile for marketing materials.

• Artwork and Design Projects  

Artists and designers use A3 for sketches, illustrations, and other creative projects that require more canvas space.

Can I Use the Same Paper for Both Inkjet and Laser Printers?

Yes, you can often use the same Office Choice paper for both inkjet and laser printers, especially if it’s a standard copy or multipurpose paper. 

Our paper also works well for photocopying due to its ultra-smooth surface and anti-curl quality, which reduces paper jams. 

How Should I Store Paper to Prevent Damage?

Proper storage is key to keeping your paper in good condition. Here's how to store it effectively:

• Store paper in a dry place away from moisture. Humidity can cause the paper to warp, curl, or stick together. Avoid basements or areas prone to dampness.

• Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paper to turn yellow and become brittle. Store it in a shaded area or in a closed cabinet or box.

• Keep paper in its original packaging until ready to use. The packaging is designed to protect against dust, dirt, and light.

• Lay paper flat on a shelf or in a drawer to prevent bending or curling. If storing upright, ensure it's fully supported to avoid warping.
