What is printer paper/media, and how do I choose the right type for my printing needs?

[Jorden David]

Printer paper, also known as print media, is the material used to print text or images. It comes in various types like bond paper for everyday use, glossy or matte sheets for high-quality images, and thicker cardstock for packaging or labels. Choosing the right one depends on your printing project and the printer type you’re using. Are you printing regular documents, photos, or something more specialized like product packaging? Knowing your goal helps in picking the perfect media for clean, professional results.
