Inkjet Paper

As simple as the title, this blog describes inkjet paper.

Inkjet papers are designed specifically for inkjet printing. These papers are classified based on the weight, smoothness, brightness as well as the opacity.

The papers require the right degree of absorbency in order to receive the ink and to avoid it spreading sideways. This type of papers will produce a successful inkjet print. Reformulation of many papers for office general purpose with weight of 21 - 27 lb has been done. Therefore, these papers can work well either with inkjet or laser printers. Since the ink load is light, this type of paper is only acceptable for text printing. Solid colours, which are found in graphics or photographs, make the paper buckle. In addition, double sided printing is impossible since the print will be shown through one side to the other. The poor colour gamut leads to the colour being "muddy". That is the other reason why this category of paper is unsuitable for photographic use.

The setting of the printer's driver has to be adjusted to suit the paper, for any type of paper. Therefore, the printer will deliver the correct amount of ink.

Now you know what to do with your printer and the papers required in getting the quality print that you desire.
