Choosing the right paper depends on what application you need it for, whether you are printing in black and white or colour, what kind of printer you are using and of course, keep your budget in mind. Here are some sustainable suggestions:

  • Multifunctional office paper (80gsm): The best choice for general low to high volume everyday black and white or colour copying and document printing. Popular High-quality, sustainable and cost-efficient brands are RotatrimTypek and Double A.

  • Speciality Paper: Uncoated extra smooth printing paper with ColorLok® technology (Monde papers). Speciality paper is suitable for marketing, company brochures, presentations, special reports, documents that require lots of ink coverage, advertisements, letterheads, business cards, proofs, photo books and direct mail. Color copy & MAESTRO® extra are both great choices for your special projects!

  • Tinted Office paper: When you need eye-catching, attention-grabbing colours for your office application such as colour coding office paper systems, reports, leaflets and other creative applications. With 13 different colours available to choose from, Maestro Color is the perfect choice for the job!

  • A4 Paper Boards: When you need stiffer paper that is inkjet, colour laser and copier compatible and suitable for a variety of applications such as presentation covers, dividers, binding boards, inserts, files and folders.  Kalideck boards are the no.1 choice and are available in a variety of colour tints.

Features to look for when choosing A4 printing paper

  • Good Runnability –This refers to the smoothness at which your paper runs through the printer without causing any paper jams or waste.

  • High opacity – for less show through so you can print on both sides of the paper

  • CIE Whiteness – This refers to the brightness of the paper – The Brighter the paper, the sharper text and images will print resulting in a higher quality print. A good CIE whiteness to look for in an office paper would be 160.

  • Smoothness – A smooth paper surface enhances print quality for crisper and clearer images and ads a pleasant feel and quality to the finished print.

  • Acid and lignin free for better archiving – This means that the paper won’t go yellow over time (look aged) keeping its crisp whiteness intact.

  • Environmental certifications – When selecting an A4 office paper, sustainability should be a number one consideration – Look for the Highest environmental credentials such as Blue Angel, CO₂ neutral, FSC® Recycled, EU Ecolabel and 100% Recycling paper made of 100% post-consumer waste such as Nautilus.
