Home printers typically use standard paper sizes such as:

• Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches): Most common for everyday printing like documents and letters.
• Legal size (8.5 x 14 inches): Used for contracts and legal documents.
• A4 size (8.27 x 11.69 inches): Common internationally, similar to letter size.
• Photo paper sizes: Vary depending on printer, often 4 x 6 inches or 8.5 x 11 inches.

Choosing the right size depends on your printer's compatibility and your printing needs.

Choosing the right photo paper depends on the finish and quality you want:

• Glossy photo paper: Offers shiny, vibrant colors and sharp images, great for photos.
• Matte photo paper: Has a non-reflective surface, reducing glare and fingerprints.
• Cardstock: Thicker and sturdier, good for photo projects or prints that need durability.

Also, check your printer's specifications to ensure the paper type is compatible for best results.

Cardstock is a heavier, thicker type of paper compared to regular copy paper. It usually ranges from 65 lb to over 100 lb in weight, making it sturdy and durable.

Use cardstock for:

• Craft projects like greeting cards, invitations, and scrapbooking.
• Printing business cards or postcards.
• Any project needing a firm, professional feel.

It's important to check your printer's ability to handle thicker paper before printing on cardstock.

Paper brightness refers to how much light the paper reflects, measured on a scale from 1 to 100. Higher brightness means the paper appears whiter and more vibrant.

Why it matters:

• Higher brightness: Makes colors pop and text look sharper, ideal for presentations and photos.
• Lower brightness: Softer on the eyes, often used for everyday printing or reading materials.

Choosing the right brightness depends on your printing needs and desired visual effect.

Proper storage helps keep your paper fresh and ready for use. Here are some tips:

• Keep paper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration.
• Store paper flat in its original packaging or a sealed container to avoid moisture and dust.
• Avoid stacking heavy items on top of paper reams to prevent bending or creasing.

Following these steps can help maintain paper quality for printing and crafting projects.
