The Best Paper for Printables
Many of you have asked which paper I use to print my printables. So, here's my go-to list of the best paper types and what I use each for!
PRINTER PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
CARD STOCK
I use a lot of card stock. Mostly in my scrapbooks, project life albums, etc. and I’ve used Neenah 90 lb. Cardstock for as long as I can remember. It’s very good quality and I’ve never had an issue with it.
If you're printing a binder cover that you to be fade-resistant and last a long time, the best paper I would recommend using Epson Presentation paper. It's heavy like cardstock (48 lb), is great when laminated, and is made to last for decades.
