Copier Paper

Copier paper, also known as copy paper, is a type of paper that is specifically designed for use in copiers and printers. It is a thin, lightweight paper that is typically made from wood pulp or recycled paper. Copier paper is available in a variety of sizes, weights, and colors, and it is widely used in offices, schools, and other settings for printing and copying documents. One of the key features of copier paper is its smooth surface, which allows for high-quality printing and copying. The paper is treated with a special coating that helps to prevent ink from smudging or bleeding, and it is designed to resist jamming in copiers and printers. Copier paper is also acid-free, which means that it will not yellow or deteriorate over time. Copier paper is available in a range of sizes, including letter-size (8.5 x 11 inches), legal-size (8.5 x 14 inches), and ledger-size (11 x 17 inches). It is also available in a variety of weights, with standard weights ranging from 20 to 24 pounds. Heavier weights, such as 28 or 32 pounds, are often used for printing documents that require a more professional look and feel, such as resumes or business proposals. In addition to its use in copiers and printers, copier paper can also be used for a variety of other purposes, such as for writing notes or creating artwork. It is a versatile and affordable type of paper that is widely available at office supply stores and online retailers.
