Advantages of printing on lightweight paper
There’s a common misconception in offices around the World that heavyweight paper is always the superior choice. Certainly on many important letters it can add to the authority of the content but it’s not the best choice in all situations. Companies should have a diverse range of paper to meet the demands of all printing jobs – using the wrong paper can often reduce the overall quality of a letter or print job.
Many of the latest Xerox printers can accept paper as thin as 49gsm. This has several advantages in a number of print areas that can add up to significant savings over many years:
- Posting – limit the weight and size of your letters with lightweight paper. If you’re regularly posting hundreds of letters you’ll be able to improve profitability by switching to a lighter paper. And because the quality is still there, you don’t lose your authority with your clients. According to the latest research, postage savings of 20% - 37% are typical.
- Bulky documents and manuals – manuals, books, documents all benefit from using lightweight paper, which results in far thinner and lighter documents overall. In fact, companies can, using lightweight paper, produce documents that are 30% thinner and 35% lighter. If these are subsequently mailed the financial savings can be enormous.
Businesses should consider how lightweight paper could help cut their printing costs. By choosing the most appropriate supplies for the print job companies not only save money but also achieve better results and help retain customers for longer periods of time.
