Selecting Print Media
The type of media you select affects the performance and
print quality.
Selecting Media Types
Most photocopy paper, postcards, index cards,
transparencies, envelopes, and labels will work with your
printer, particularly paper that is marked for use in laser
printers. For the best results, use one of the papers
developed especially for laser printers.
What to Consider
• Desired outcome. The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project. For example, use greeting card
paper when making party invitations.
• Size. Choose any size paper that fits easily within the paper
guides of the printer.
• Weight. Use 20~24-pound or 75~90 g/m
multipurpose, everyday use.
• Brightness. Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant colors. Use white paper for
documents with any other pictures.
• Surface smoothness. The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper. Glossy, coated
paper works well for pictures and charts where you want
crisp lines.
