Paper types Several types of paper are available. ● Archival paper ● Bond paper or letterhead ● Coated paper ● Colored paper ● Copier paper (plain paper) ● Embossed and debossed paper ● Glossy paper ● Heavy paper, cover paper, and cardstock ● Laser paper ● Preprinted forms and letterhead ● Recycled paper ● Special print media Archival paper Paper that is used for archiving must meet the same specifications as standard paper with a pH greater than 7.0. Some archival demands are more stringent than others, requiring a specific degree of alkalinity and chemical stability. Toner is chemically stable and should last as long as the paper does. Toner can be degraded by petroleum-based solvents or plasticizers, such as those found in vinyl folders. NOTE: There are no universal standards for what constitutes archival paper, but there are some generally accepted properties. Archival paper should be acid free, should not contain groundwood or unbleached pulp, should meet strict limits on metallic content, and should be free of optical brighteners that artificially make the paper whiter. For more information, see https://www.strathmoreartist.com/blog-reader/what-is-the-differencebetween-acid-free-and-archival.html. Avoid folding archival documents across printed areas or handling archival documents roughly. Discuss archival requirements with your paper supplier. Bond paper or letterhead Bond paper or letterhead is premium paper that is often watermarked, sometimes uses cotton fiber, and is available in a wide range of colors and finishes with matching envelopes. Many manufacturers now design these grades of paper with properties optimized for laser printing and advertise the paper as laser compatible or laser guaranteed. Some of the rougher surface finishes, such as cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser modes that are available on some printer models in order to achieve adequate toner adhesion. For more information about your printer specifications, see https://support.hp.com/us-en/products/. Coated paper Clay- or other pigment-coated papers must be specifically designed for laser printers. The electrical properties must be controlled and the surface designed not to blister during fusing. The coating must not flake or shed particles that can contaminate the printer. 8 Chapter 2 Guidelines for using print media ENWW
