What the AI looks for in Laser Printer Paper
- Heat tolerance
- Use paper labelled for laser printers. Never use inkjet-coated or glossy inkjet media. Fuser heat can melt inkjet coatings and damage the printer.
- Smoothness
- Choose a smooth finish. Smooth paper fuses toner evenly and gives crisper text.
- Weight
- Choose 24 to 32 lb for quality output, and check the printer's maximum paper weight for the duplex path. Over-weight stock causes curl and jams.
- Moisture
- Keep reams sealed. Damp paper causes curl and poor toner adhesion after fusing.
Brands that matter
- Hammermill: Premium Laser Print is the reference laser sheet.
- Xerox: Bold and Vitality lines.
- HP: Laser-oriented premium papers.
What to avoid
- Glossy inkjet photo paper.
- Textured stock that isn't rated for laser.
