With more people working from home, the demand for printer paper has never been higher. But what kind should you buy? Often it depends on your printer. Inkjet printers spray liquid ink onto paper to create words and images. For these printers, thick and fast-absorbing paper is recommended. Laser printers, on the other hand, melt the toner onto the paper. The paper for these printers needs to withstand the heat involved in the process. There is also paper designed to work with both types of printers. Here are the paper packs we recommend.
