More About Paper

Do you need paper supplies for your office or business? Here at Hunt Office Ireland we offer a large range of paper in various sizes including A3 paper, recycled paper and even A5 printer paper.

We supply printer paper to suit different printer types so you will be sure to get the best quality from your printer and paper, from a3 to a5 printer paper we have all sizes. We supply laser paper specifically for laser printers, inkjet paper for inkjet printers and multifunction paper which will suit any printer.

For customers who need to get the best printing quality based on the type of printer they use we have office paper divided into inkjet and laser paper categories. Since these are two completely different print technologies so are the printing results based on the type of paper used. Both of these types of paper have unique characteristics which are responsible for getting high quality printing when used with the proper type of printer that they were designed to use with.

With print cost dropping significantly in the last few years one of the types of printer paper that has been becoming more and more popular is photo paper. The range of photo paper we have available allows the user to get lab quality photos within minutes using their own printer. The range of photo paper sizes lets you create photos ranging from the most popular 10x15cm format up to large format photographs in A3.

No matter how you use paper, we offer a wide range to suit your business needs. Whether you need premium laser paper, multi-use copier paper, recycled, white or coloured sheets, we offer a wide selection of sizes and weights. In addition to standard cut paper, did you know we also have a large range of specialist papers, certificates, listing paper and business cards?

Paper Sizes

Paper has a weight value measured in GSM. The higher the GSM, the better the quality and feel. Standard paper weights are between 75gsm and 100gsm for common business applications; photo paper is much higher and goes up to 280gsm.

Looking after your paper

The storage and handling of paper is often overlooked, by being aware of a few simple facts, paper jams and other problems can be avoided, thereby saving you time and money:

- Damp
Paper is manufactured with low moisture levels. If exposed to damp, it will absorb moisture from the air and will not feed efficiently.

- Wrapping
It is recommended that paper is stored in its wrapper until you need to use it. This will prevent damage but also help to minimise running issues.

- Overheating
Paper stored next to heat sources or in direct sunlight can become over dry, this will cause jamming.

- Cold Conditions
If paper has been stored in cold conditions it should be allowed to reach room temperature before being put into printers and copiers.
