Color Printer Paper
Not all printing tasks are the same, and it’s important to have the right paper for the job. Print eye-popping flyers and beautiful brochures using color copy paper, not to be confused with colored paper, for your next job. Learn more about its features below.
What Is Color Copy Paper?
Color copy paper is designed specifically to deliver exceptional color printing results. When you want to print the best quality images, it is important to use the right type of paper. With its smooth surface and high brightness, color printing paper stands out and delivers premium results so you can enjoy your printed images in the best way possible.
For high-quality prints, rely on high-performance “uncoated” paper that is engineered and optimized for digital color printing. You’ll be impressed by the crisp lines, vivid colors and outstanding photographic details.
Designed for use in a variety of printers, color printer paper is available at Staples in a wide range of weights and sizes.
What Is the Difference Between Coated and Uncoated Color Printing Paper?
Coated paper has a surprisingly smooth texture due to an added coating that fills gaps in the uneven surface of the paper fibers. It is available in a variety of finishes like glossy, which is similar to photo paper, or matte.
Uncoated paper is not as smooth as coated paper, but it is available in a wider variety of textures and finishes, making it the more versatile of the two paper types. This type of color printing paper is more commonly used for everyday activities like general home and office use, letterheads and color paper printing. It’s your ideal paper if you want to communicate elegance and refinement.
How Can You Use Color Copy Paper?
