Frequently Asked Questions About Office Paper

What paper weight should I get, 20 lb. or 24 lb. paper?

Most offices stick with 20 lb. paper for everyday printing because it's affordable, lightweight, and built for high volume use. 24 lb. paper is thicker and more durable, with a smoother feel that makes it a better choice for presentations, reports, and double-sided printing without bleed or see-through.

20 lb. (75 gsm) paper works well for:

  • Drafts
  • Internal documents
  • Invoices
  • Everyday printing

24 lb. (90 gsm) paper is better for:

  • Client-facing documents
  • Reports
  • Presentations
  • Heavier ink coverage

Lighter paper helps reduce printing and mailing costs, while heavier paper creates a more professional feel. For more help comparing options, explore Quill's paper weight buying guide.

What paper brightness levels should I choose, 92 vs. 96 bright paper?

Paper brightness tells you how bright and crisp your prints will look, typically on a scale from 0 to 100. Most office paper registers at either 92 or 96. Higher brightness gives you sharper text and more vibrant graphics, while lower brightness is perfectly fine for everyday documents.

92 bright paper is commonly used for:

  • Internal documents
  • Everyday office printing
  • High volume use

96 bright paper is better for:

  • Presentations
  • Color printing
  • Reports with graphics

For routine office printing, many businesses choose 92 bright paper for a balance of readability and value. Explore Quill's paper brightness buying guide for more details about brightness.

What are the cost-effective paper options for everyday printing?

Buying bulk copy paper by the ream or case is usually the most cost-effective option for offices. A standard case includes 10 reams or 5,000 sheets, helping lower the cost per sheet compared to smaller packs.

Also, consider 20 lb. copy paper as it is more affordable than heavier weights, especially if you just need it for drafts and forms or large paper runs.

For even greater savings, some businesses order paper by the pallet or truckload when print volume is high. Just keep in mind that larger orders require enough storage space.

If your business prints at scale, a Quill customer service specialist can help you find the right bulk pricing and order size for your needs.

Is the paper or cardstock compatible with my laser or inkjet printers?

Using the right paper type and weight helps keep things running smoothly and your prints looking sharp. Most office printers are built for standard paper between 20 lb and 24 lb. However, using the wrong paper or paper weight can lead to issues like paper jams, smudging, feed problems, and curling.

For everyday copy paper:

  • Match the paper type to your printer (laser or inkjet)
  • Check the size and weight before loading
  • Follow your printer's recommended settings

Cardstock takes a bit more care. Many office printers can handle lighter cardstock, but thicker stocks may cause issues. Most consumer printers support cardstock in the 58 lb. to 100 lb. range.

For better results with cardstock:

  • Select “Heavy Paper” or “Cardstock” in your print settings
  • Use the manual feed tray when possible
  • Check your printer's max supported weight before printing

A quick settings check can help prevent frustrating jams saving you time and paper.

What paper and cardstock are better for professional use?

When it comes to client-facing documents, paper choice makes a difference. Heavier, brighter paper tends to look sharper, feel more substantial, and give your work a more polished finish.

Many businesses go with:

  • 24 lb. premium copy paper for reports and presentations
  • Higher brightness for cleaner contrast and crisper text
  • Matte finishes for easy reading
  • Glossy finishes for graphics and marketing materials

Cardstock is a go-to for:

  • Business cards
  • Presentation covers
  • Flyers
  • Signage

A simple upgrade in paper or cardstock can go a long way in making your documents feel more professional right from the start.

When does it make sense to outsource a print shop vs. print in-house?

For everyday needs, printing in-house is usually the fastest and most cost-effective option. It works well for small runs, internal documents, and quick updates. However, many offices can also handle simple business cards, flyers, and presentations with the right cardstock and printer settings.

If you're creating materials for customers or clients that go beyond the basics, a print shop might be the better option. Consider a print shop for:

  • Large print runs
  • Heavier cardstock
  • Specialty finishes
  • Precise color matching
  • Premium business cards
  • Brochures

Most businesses end up using a mix of both. Print in house for speed and convenience, and use a print shop when quality really needs to stand out.

For premium business cards and custom projects, you can also explore Quill's custom printing options.
