How to Choose Photo Paper For Your Business

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Office supply and in particular photo paper is considered a significant expense for many businesses. When choosing this product for your business, here is what to look for.

1. Look at printer compatibilities – The first and most basic compatibility check is based on the technology of the printer. Laser-jet printers require laser paper, whereas Ink-jet printers requires Inkjet papers. Next you would need to ensure that the paper is compatible with your brand of printer. For example, HP printers work with HP papers, but will also work with other types of paper manufactures. Check that the paper will work with your brand of printer, specific model, and do not worry about buying generic papers if you found a good deal.

2. Pay attention to weight – Inkjet photo papers in particular are normally measured in GSM which is Grammes per Square Metre. You will not be able to see this measurement when looking at the paper, instead you can feel different in GSM by sensing the thickness and/or the stiffness of the paper. Make sure the weight of the paper is suitable for your printing needs. It is true that higher weight normally suggests better quality, but as you will read further down, you need to consider what the paper will be used for.

3. Consider its uses – As you already now, Inkjet papers are measured in GSM. The higher the GSM is, the heavier the paper is and its orientation becomes more professional. If the paper will be used to print office charts, it is likely that you will only need a low GSM weight paper, perhaps just a coated paper. However, if you are looking to print documents and photos which you would like to keep for many years (due to legal requirements for example), you will need a high weight GSM paper with archival properties.

4. Buy smart and save – Now that you found the type of paper most suitable for your needs and compatible with your printer, let’s look at where you could save. Photo paper is a type of product which you could safely purchase online where the prices are normally more competitive compared to your local store. You can save even further if you purchase in bulk. Buying more than one pack at a time will reduce the price of each pack and will also help ensure you have it when you need it. Lastly, look at generic photo paper brands as well as the major brands. For example, Archival photo paper is available from major brands, but also as a generic paper at a much lower cost.
