Fax paper is a form of thermal paper designed for use in facsimiles or fax machines. It is lightweight paper coated with a heat-sensitive coating on ones side; this coating is a colorless formula that develops an image with the application of heat. As it passes through the facsimile's imaging device, precise measures of heat is applied by the print head, causing a dark image on the fax paper to form. Fax paper usually comes in a roll and is available in different sizes for different types and models of fax machines.

It costs more but produces better print and image quality.

Grade: Choose the grade appropriate for your use of the document. The higher the grade, the better the quality of the paper, and the higher the price.
