Summary: Printer's can use different types of paper stock. Learn about printer papers in this free video.
" Hi! This is Zak with Expert Village and today I’m going to talk to you about selecting different kinds of paper for your printer. Most printers you’re going to have a standard printer paper such as this right here. It comes in size that’s standardized, and most basic printers when you buy them they come with this kind of plain paper. Another type of printer paper is card stock. It’s used more for post cards and things where you just need a heavier kind of paper than regular plain paper which is rather flimsy in comparison. Also for printing photos and vibrant images can use photo paper. It’s glossier and a little heavier than normal paper and it shows much greater details in colors than normal papers do. Also if you like to make your own CD and DVD labels, you can buy sets of label paper which are made specifically to be printed on so that you can make your own CD and DVD labels."
