THE CONSERVATREE GUIDE
to Environmentally Sound Printing and Writing Papers


COPY AND OFFICE MACHINE PAPERS

  • Copy papers are specially moisture-balanced to operate problem-free in photocopiers.
  • Laser and Ink Jet papers are marketed for those types of office printers, although most copy and bond papers work fine in those machines as well.
  • Many papers are now marketed as "Dual-Purpose" or "Multi-Purpose," to meet the needs for Bond, Copy, Laser, and Ink Jet papers.
  • Imaging Papers (listed separately at bottom of page) are often used for printing photographs and color designs.
  • Be sure that the paper you use in your copier is rated for copier use, especially if it is a high-speed copier. Many jams and other problems are blamed on recycled paper when the problem actually is use of an inappropriate paper.

    * Papers marked with an asterisk do not meet mandated requirements for purchases by U.S. government and many state and local agencies and contractors.
