Copy paper, also known as copier paper, reprographic paper, xerographic paper, or dual-purpose, is paper specially made for use on copy machines or photocopiers. They are moisture-balanced so that they operate on photocopiers without a problem-- copiers, especially high-speed ones, tend to jam with certain types of papers. Copypaper is lightweight and generally thin.

Choosing Copy Papers (Buying tips)
Environment: Look for a copy paper that is made with recycled fibers. Recycle copy paper is indistinguishable from non-recycle ones; it offers the same cost and performance. Smoothness: Look for a copy paper that has a smooth surface (as opposed to textured) to produce crisp and sharper results. Brightness: Choose a bright copy paper; the whiter the paper, the better the contrast and visibility. Brightness rating is between 80 and 100; the higher te rating, the brighter the paper.
