Have you ever stopped and thought about your copier paper? If you're like most business owners, the answer is probably no. However, taking the time to get to know what's happening with your copier supplies might save you time or money, and it might help your copier run better.
Make the Most of Your Copier Paper
There are some things that might tell you that you need to try new paper for your copier. Some examples of issues due to paper type include: Frequent paper jams, Undesirable quality of print, Wasted prints , and Stuck paper reams. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your copier paper, and some pointers about using the right kind of paper.
Quality
Not all paper is created equal. In fact, cheaper paper tends to be of poor quality. This means you don't get the best prints your copier is capable of, and it means you run the risk of paper jams and other issues. Low-quality paper can be irregular in its cut, it can easily stick to other pieces, and it might make the ink bleed when printing. The best thing to do is to pay attention to the quality of paper you are buying. Sure, you might have to spend a little more, but it can save time, money, and headaches in the long run.
Settings
If you change paper type, texture, size, or quality, you need to make sure your settings match. Most people think that you can just stick paper in the trays, and the copier will figure it out, but that's not always the case. You can tell your copier what kind of paper you are using -- size, weight, type -- and your device will use the best settings for that paper. Always address the settings of your copier or printer, whenever you make any sort of change to the paper. Your device will thank you.
