What GSM means for printing

GSM = paper thickness/weight.
For printing, GSM mainly impacts:

  • how premium the output feels

  • how well the paper holds during handling

  • how much show-through you get on double-side prints

Why 80 GSM is best for printing

If you want the best print experience overall, 80 GSM is the best choice because it offers:

  • a stronger, premium feel for documents

  • better handling for frequent use

  • more confidence for important printouts and double-side documents

When 75 GSM is the right choice

75 GSM is a good choice for regular printing where you want:

  • smooth everyday performance for office and school use

  • balanced thickness and output feel

  • a practical option for routine printing volume

Unbleached paper: what to expect

Our paper is unbleached, so it has a natural shade instead of bright white.
Many institutions prefer this because it avoids heavy whitening and still produces clean, readable prints.

Smooth printing: handling & storage tips

For printing users, two things matter most: paper handling + storage.

Best practices:

  • Store reams sealed until use

  • Keep in a dry indoor area

  • Avoid mixing different GSM packs in the same tray

  • Load paper neatly and avoid overfilling trays

These simple habits help keep printing consistent.
