Color Laser Paper refers to paper that is made to be
specifically compatible with the unique requirements of the color laser
printing process. This involves a very smooth laser finish and the ability
to feed well and withstand the hot fusing process in many color laser printer
models.

Color
Laser Paper Options...
The key categories of color laser paper include mirror-finish
photo papers, two-sided glossy ("magazine-like") papers, and
smooth-finish uncoated papers...
Mirror-Finish
Gloss Papers (one-sided)
True photo-based color
laser paper is non-existent, but certain laser-compatible cast-coated papers
are available which achieve results resembling traditional photo lab-type
prints.
Compatibility: printers such as the
HP 5550, 5500, 8500, 5550, 4550, 4500 color laser printers are extremely hot
in the fuser rollers during the printing process and can cause melting or
bubbling of incompatible coated papers.
50 lb. High
Gloss is a proven-performance paper for color laser printers.
Able to withstand the heat, this paper is ideal for photo-realistic
printing.
Refer
to 50 lb. High Gloss. Also
available, 32 lb. High Gloss.
Two-Sided
Glossy Papers ("Magazine-like")
The
defining application for glossy color laser paper is the in-house brochure on
a color laser printer. Other applications with similar demands include
flyers, corporate reports, and advertising or presentation documents.
Note: a
full discussion of glossy brochure paper can be found in the brochure paper article.
Laser
Gloss, 32 lb. and 58 lb.
A relatively new product, Laser Gloss was created in answer to
numerous customer requests for a glossier two-sided brochure paper. Previously, Soft
Gloss was the only solution available for re-creating expensive commercially
printed brochures in-house. Color-laser printer compatible.
Sizes
and availability: see the Laser Gloss
product page.
Bright
White Bond
Bright
White Color Laser Paper. Our selection of white bond is intended for
our business customers because it feeds more reliably and presents a
brighter, richer appearance by comparison to standard bond. Laser-guaranteed.
Refer
to Bright White Bond for product details.
