Laser Paper : What is it?

LaserPapers1

Laser paper is designed to absorb toner used in laser printers and copiers. It has low moisture content, which keeps it from curling up or discoloring under high printing temperatures. It is usually white and has a smooth, slick surface. Laser paper prints are usually sharper and crisper, but tend to flake off easily.
