The Right Ream: Choosing Copy Paper for High-Volume Printing in Canadian Offices

In a busy Canadian office environment, the printer is the heartbeat of daily operations. When that heartbeat skips—due to paper jams, poor print quality, or running out of stock—efficiency plummets. Your choice of copy paper has a direct impact on your productivity and bottom line.

For businesses with high-speed, high-volume printing needs, generic paper simply won't cut it. As your trusted Canadian supplier, MilaMima provides professional-grade copy paper designed specifically to handle the toughest office demands. Here is your guide to selecting the right paper and optimizing your purchasing strategy.


💪 Quality Parameters: What Makes Copy Paper "High-Volume Ready"?

Don’t just buy the cheapest paper available. High-volume printing requires paper with specific properties to ensure reliability and output quality:

✅ The Importance of Weight (20 lb vs. 24 lb)

Most standard office paper is **20 lb (pound) weight**. This is ideal for bulk, everyday printing, offering a perfect balance between cost-effectiveness and performance. For double-sided documents or important presentations, you might opt for 24 lb paper, which provides better opacity to prevent "show-through."

  • MilaMima Recommendation: Our standard copy paper is optimized at the 20 lb mark to minimize jams and maximize speed in high-capacity trays.

💡 Brightness and Whiteness (The 92 Bright Standard)

Brightness is measured on a scale from 1 to 100, with 100 being the brightest. High brightness (typically **92 Bright or higher**) ensures sharp contrast for both text and color printing, making your documents look professional.

🔧 Smoothness and Moisture Control

The smoothness of the paper is critical for preventing wear on your printer's internal mechanisms. More importantly, high-quality paper is packaged to maintain ideal moisture levels. Improperly stored or low-quality paper can curl or warp, leading to—you guessed it—**paper jams and misfeeds**.


🚀 Efficiency & Cost Control: The Canadian Bulk Advantage

For high-volume offices, the true savings come from optimizing your purchasing process and leveraging a reliable supplier.
