Types of Paper

This chart summarizes the characteristics of papers for digital color copying and printing. It is not intended to be an

exclusive guide to ordering paper. Rather, use it to create new ideas for using papers in jobs. Remember, not all

paper in a grade comes in every combination of size, weight, and/or finish.

For more detailed information about papers/materials, see the Color Material Usage Guide on the CD.
