1 Ream - Copy & Multipurpose Paper

Copy paper vs. printer paper

Copy paper and printer paper are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences between the two that can affect the quality of your print jobs.

Copy Paper: This type of paper is commonly used for everyday printing needs, like text documents, faxes, and quick prints. It's typically inexpensive and lighter weight compared to printer paper. Copy paper is designed to work well for a high volume of standard black and white printing in copy machines.

Printer Paper: This is usually a higher quality paper compared to regular copy paper. It's designed to produce a superior image quality, making it ideal for printing important documents, photos, and graphics where clarity is crucial. Printer paper can come in many different types, weights, and finishes, depending on the desired result.So, while you can use either in most situations, you might find one more suitable for your specific needs or the final presentation desired.
