ABOUT PAPER

Technology and Paper

Choosing the right paper calls for a strong knowledge of paper characteristics and how they relate to different print technologies.

Whether making color copies, printing from a digital office or production printer, or a workgroup laser printer, you’ll need to consider the variables associated with different equipment and how they influence paper buying decisions.

Digital production printing

This type of printing is often the choice for production printing of forms, manuals, training materials and other business documents. Digital production printers, such as the Xerox DocuColor 40, enable color and/or black and white on-demand publishing, eliminating the need for large inventories of pre-printed documents. Digital printing is best for quantities of less than 1000.

Office laser printing

With easy access to sophisticated desktop publishing applications, full-color scanning, and high-speed color technology, office laser printing is becoming the output device of choice for many business documents. This is especially true for documents that need to be customized, changed and updated to reflect rapidly changing business. The quantities typically recommended for laser printing are 1-50.

Office digital copying and printing

People want the freedom and flexibility to create high quality color documents in smaller quantities – in multiple variations – with a wide degree of depth and dimension. They want their presentations, reports, and business documents in general, to look sharp and bright.
