18 Nov Are You Using the Right Paper for Your Project?
If you’re working on a printed project, you may not be thinking about the kind of paper you should use. However, this choice can have a major impact on the overall look and feel of your project. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the different types of paper available, and when you should use them.
Check Your Paper Size
One of the first things you’ll need to do when choosing paper is to make sure that it’s the right size for your project. Standard printer paper is typically letter-sized (8.5″ x 11″), but you can also find paper in other sizes, such as legal (8.5″ x 14″) or tabloid (11″ x 17″). If you’re not sure what size paper you need, check the specifications for your project. It’s also important to ensure that your printer will accommodate the right size paper.
Choose the Right Weight
Another important consideration is the weight of the paper. Paperweight is typically expressed in grams per meter (GPM), and the higher the number, the heavier the paper. The weight of the paper you choose will depend on the project you’re working on. For example, if you’re printing invitations or business cards, you’ll want to use a heavier cardstock so your finished project feels substantial and high-quality.
Select the Perfect Shade
In addition to size and weight, you’ll also need to choose the right color for your paper. While white is the most popular choice for many projects, you can also find paper in a variety of other shades, such as ivory, cream, or pastel colors. If you’re not sure which color to choose, think about the overall aesthetic of your project.
