Paper is one of the most common printing surfaces for most printing jobs. The ancient Egyptians started writing on strips of papyrus and has since evolved into what we know it as today. Paper has transformed over the centuries and decades and is now available in a wide variety of types, sizes, colors and weights. Paper is still processed in the same basic way as it always has been of moist fibers being pressed together and dried into flexible sheets using air or heat. Choosing the right type of paper will depend on what you are trying to print, how large your print needs to be, the type of paper your printer is able to print on and various other factors. Different papers react differently with various inks. Paper is also available in a variety of thicknesses and weights. Please make sure to choose the right paper for your printing job to optimize your results.
