No matter how inspiring or creative your work is, there is just no place for smudged, blurry, wrinkly prints in today’s world. With the right tools at your disposal, producing the best prints can be an incredibly easy task. There are many factors that contribute to ensuring precision in bespoke prints. And one aspect that is often overlooked is the choice of paper.

We all want to capture brilliance on our printed pages, complete with high-definition vividness and smudge-free perfection. The printing paper used will not only affect the document’s print quality and resolution, but also determine its durability and long-term value. Let’s give our imagination and innovative ideas a sustainable home on high-quality paper.

What makes a print truly stand out?

• Stunning visuals
  The paper choice can greatly impact the visual aesthetics and appeal of the print. Be it dynamic posters, heartfelt invitations, or striking photographs, the brightness, weight, and finish of the paper can improve the overall appearance by making the graphics and text pop.
• High durability
  Pick a premium long-lasting paper that allows your print to withstand frequent use for an extended period. Some examples of items that are constantly handled and exposed to various environmental factors include business cards and marketing materials.
• Colour accuracy
  Different paper types have different ink absorption capabilities. This can affect the accuracy of print colours and the sharpness of images. By selecting a paper that is compatible with your printing technique and ink type, you can get one step closer to achieving precision in every print.
• Perceived value
  Put your best foot forward at work, at home, in school. Show professionalism and meticulous attention to detail when you print your proposals and worksheets on top-of-the-line paper. This can help to enhance your brand image and leave a positive impression on those around you.

Choosing the right paper for the perfect print job

First impressions count. Whether you are printing promotional materials, journals, or reports, your choice of printing paper will reflect on your professionalism and reliability. And the quality of your printed work can be a representation of your values.

Here’s a handy checklist of what to consider when picking out the best paper for precise printing.

1. Opacity
   Most printing papers have an opacity between 80% and 98%. When printing books, it’s important to make sure the text doesn’t bleed through on each page. With a staggering opacity of 99.2%, PaperOne™ offers excellent readability and remarkable print quality.
2. Brightness
   Especially for short documents and bulletins, choose brighter paper to create a more dynamic contrast and deliver your message with maximum impact.
3. Finish & Texture
   Compared to coated paper, which can have a range of different textures and finishes, uncoated paper has a natural, rougher texture for greater ink absorption. The matte surface is also non-reflective, making it the perfect canvas for an exceptional reading experience.
4. Weight
   Reliable and designed for daily use, standard copy paper weighs 80 gsm. This is the ideal paper weight for high-volume printing across inkjet or laser printers, at home or in the office, for documents, forms, letters, and beyond.
5. Sustainability
   More and more businesses are going green, opting for recyclable alternatives, such as sustainably-sourced paper. The PaperOne Digital 80gsm Carbon Neutral range was created to meet the needs of consumers who are also conscious of their carbon footprint.

Elevate your prints by making clever paper choices. Enhanced with ProDigi™ HD Print Technology, PaperOne’s smooth treated paper sets itself apart from other ordinary uncoated paper, producing colours that are up to 34% more vibrant! On top of that, PaperOne’s low-abrasion paper reduces the wear and tear on your printer to prolong its lifespan.
