Our Top 6 Types of Printable Paper

At Buy Direct, we have a wide selection of paper and printable media ready for both corporate and personal use. From standard printer paper to specialty parchment, many of our papers are compatible with inkjet and laser printers, photocopiers, and fax machines, so discover the best type for your office or workplace below:

Office Paper

The main type of office paper we provide here at BuyDirect is copy paper, which is ideal for documents consisting mainly of text.

For an environmentally friendly option, try the Universal 30% Recycled Copy Paper. This acid-free paper is made with wood sourced from a certified managed forest and offers a smooth, reliable performance in all office copiers.

We'd recommend the Hammermill Tidal Print Paper if you're looking to print both text and images. These slightly thicker 20lb sheets provide consistent runnability and image quality on all office imaging equipment, while also being backed by the 99.99% Jam-Free® Guarantee.

Roll Print Paper

Paper rolls are an ideal choice for retail stores or any business that uses POS systems, cash registers, card machines, gas pump rolls, calculators, and mobile printers.

The Iconex Direct Thermal Printing paper rolls provide clear, crisp black and white images for all of your receipt printing needs. This is thanks to the IBM® Testing industry standard, which guarantees that the paper rolls can print 100km without abrasion, build-up, or cutting failures.

Photo Paper

Photo papers are designed with a special coating that is engineered to reproduce images at the highest quality possible. This type of paper isn't only great for artists and graphic designers, but it can also be an exceptional marketing tool for businesses hoping to showcase their products and services.

Choose the Hot Press Bright Fine Art Paper for a matte white finish that gives a softer and smoother look to your artwork. The non-reflective surface made from 100% cotton rag media makes these papers ideal for photos displayed in frames without protective glass or under bright lights.

If you'd prefer a glossier finish, shop the Epson Premium Photo Paper, which produces exhibition-grade fiber pages for professional-level photo and digital graphic printing.

Card Stock

Stock up on the Astrobrights Colored Card Stock paper to help your presentation bindings, booklet covers, and postcards stand out with high-impact color.

This card stock paper is thick and durable enough to stand up to frequent handling without jamming your inkjet or laser printer.

We'd also recommend Strathmore's 25% Cotton Business Stationery for any office materials that need to be handwritten, thanks to its durability for embossing, engraving, or letterpress. These papers are also guaranteed to offer superior performance in all office electronic printing equipment.

Speciality Paper

Special documents and occasions deserve their own distinct look, which is why we offer a selection of resume and fine stationery papers.

One of our best-selling options is the Southworth Parchment Speciality Paper, which adds a touch of old-world elegance to certifications, invitations, menus, and awards. Compatible with both inkjet and laser printers, this paper has a rich parchment finish that is acid-free, making it resistant to yellowing and disintegration.

FAQs

Is Printer Paper the Same as Copy Paper?

Documents that need to be printed with text can use either printer or copy papers. Copy paper is slightly thinner, making it a cheaper option. However, this means that more light passes through it, so choose thicker printer paper for pages with lots of images to ensure a high-quality finish.

Can I Use Any Type of Paper in My Printer?

You should always only use paper that is compatible with your specific printer model. The wrong type of paper not only produces poor-quality texts and images, but can also cause printers to jam and lead to irreparable damage. Choose either standard printer or copy paper, depending on whether you're printing texts, images, or both.

What is the Thickest Paper You Can Put Through a Printer?

80 cover is generally the thickest type of paper that most desktop printers can handle without becoming jammed. However, multifunction copiers that feature a bypass tray are often able to take cover paper that is 100+ pounds with various finishes, such as glossy, matte, or uncoated.

Is Card Stock a Printer Paper?

Yes, both coated and uncoated card stock can be used for printing. However, it is generally thicker and more durable than other printer papers, so is most often used for sending invitations, writing postcards, designing menus, and creating important documents that need to last for years to come.

Do All Printers Accept Card Stock?

Card stock can be used in most brands of printers, just be sure to double-check the manufacturing instructions first. Before using this paper type, you may also need to adjust the settings to ensure that it will accept the thicker card stock, otherwise the printer could jam.
