Things You'll Need:
- Printer Paper
-
Step 1
Use scrap paper if you are printing a draft or rough copy of a document.
-
Step 2
Pick generic 20-lb. paper if the appearance of your printout is unimportant.
-
Step 3
Choose a 24-lb. to 40-lb. white paper with high ISO brightness if you want better-than-ordinary quality from an ink-jet or laser printer.
-
Step 4
Select coated paper made for ink-jet printers if you want to approach laser-printer quality, or if you are printing color graphics or pictures that you want to look nice.
-
Step 5
Use a heavyweight, high-resolution, glossy coated paper with an ink-jet if you are printing a photograph that you want to look like a film print. (You can even buy 4-by-6-inch stock to make the print look more like a "real" photograph.)

on 2/21/2006 I have found that HW matte paper from both Epson and Canon is good quality for the money.

on 11/22/2005 Always remember to read the instructions on the printer and the paper. What I mean by this is that some printers have settings to T-shirts in which the design is put on backwards.
