Of all the tech that may be gathering dust inside your home office or cupboard, in between the pile of old phones that you keep meaning to recycle and the seemingly random assortment of cables you are saving just in case<\/em>, it\u2019s the home printer and, yes, a big stack of paper, that are definitely worth keeping around.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you need to print a returns label, make a copy of your vaccine records for travelling, print out some family photos, produce a hard copy of a bank statement or make a handful of artsy homemade wedding invites for close friends.<\/p>\n

Whatever you need the printer to do, it\u2019s important to pair it with the right type of sheets. And you may be surprised by how many factors there are to consider when you are shopping for paper \u2013 including size, weight, coating and colouring.<\/p>\n

While many tasks, forms and documents can easily be edited and sent online these days, the classic printer-paper combo is far from dead in 2022. Even better: there are models, like in our best budget printers<\/a> guide, that cost under \u00a3100.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s what you need to know about the best paper you can buy for your home printer, alongside a couple of tips that will help you make the best purchase.<\/p>\n

Types of home printer paper<\/strong><\/h2>\n
There are a lot of buzzwords when shopping for printer paper, so here are some of the main types that you will encounter when searching for it online:<\/p>\n
Multi-purpose<\/strong>: A very common sheet type, this is standard matte white paper for black\/white or colours that works with both inkjet and laser printers.<\/p>\n
Inkjet paper<\/strong>: Available in various finishes and colours \u2013 including matte or glossy this paper will be intended to work with standard inkjet home printers.<\/p>\n
Laser printer<\/strong>: This is paper for laser printers, which are often found in businesses and office buildings where users need the ability to print in higher volumes.<\/p>\n
Bright white<\/strong>: While your typical paper is matte white, the bright wide paper has a more non-textured texture that\u2019s much better for double-sided printing.<\/p>\n
Gloss\/Photo<\/strong>: Just like it sounds, this is what you need for printing out photos, as it has a shiny coating on one side, with better colours and image sharpness.<\/p>\n
Sticker<\/strong>: Not all types of printer paper are blank on both sides. Sticker sheets can work with both inkjet and laser models, featuring one side that\u2019s self-adhesive.<\/p>\n
