Complete Guide to Paper Selection
Choosing the Right Paper for Your Prints
The “hand-feel” of your document communicates value before the customer even reads a word. A flimsy flyer says “discard me,” while a sturdy, glossy card says “keep me.” We offer a curated range of stocks from standard bond to rigid cardstock to match your intent.
20lb Bond (Standard Copy Paper)
Best for: Internal memos, drafts, forms, simple invoices.
This is your standard lightweight office paper (approx 75gsm). It is economical and perfect for high-volume text documents where image fidelity is secondary to cost.
32lb Bond (Bright White)
Best for: Resumes, proposals, presentations, double-sided prints.
Significantly thicker and brighter (98 brightness) than bond. The extra density prevents ink show-through, making it the gold standard for double-sided color copies.
100lb Gloss Text
Best for: Brochures, flyers, catalogs, takeout menus.
Magazine-quality paper. It has a shiny coating that traps ink on the surface, making colors pop with high saturation. It feels slippery and premium to the touch.
100lb Gloss Cover (Cardstock)
Best for: Postcards, rack cards, covers, table tents.
Rigid and durable. This paper stands up on its own. It is ideal for heavy-duty marketing materials that need to survive being mailed or handled frequently.
Understanding Paper Opacity: One significant advantage of upgrading paper stock for color copies is increased opacity. Standard copy paper is somewhat translucent – hold it to light and you can see text from the reverse side (“ghosting”). Premium stocks like our 32lb Bond and 100lb Text are denser, preventing show-through and ensuring double-sided marketing materials appear clean, professional, and fully readable.
Visualizing paper thickness: From flexible bond to rigid cardstock.
20lb Bond (75 GSM)
The Standard Workhorse
Industry-standard for everyday color copying. Lightweight, economical, and flexible. Best for internal memos, draft documents, single-use forms, and classroom handouts where longevity isn’t the primary concern. It is easy to fold and write on with any pen.
32lb Bond (120 GSM)
The Professional Choice
Noticeably brighter (96-98 brightness) and smoother than bond. The extra thickness prevents ink saturation from warping the paper (“cockling”). Ideal for resumes, business proposals, color brochures, and presentations where quality matters. Highly Recommended.
100lb Gloss Text
The Magazine Look
Flexible paper with a glossy coating that traps ink on the surface for maximum color vibrancy and shine. Standard for takeout menus, product catalogs, promotional inserts, and professional brochures requiring visual impact. Note: Difficult to write on with ballpoint pens.
100lb Gloss Cover
Rigid Professional Cardstock
Stiff, durable copies print stock similar to postcards and business cards. Stands independently and resists bending and creasing. Perfect for heavy flyers, book covers, table tents, and direct mailers requiring durability. It implies “expensive” without the high cost.
Tailored Cheap Color Copying Solutions by Industry
From listing sheets to open house flyers, color drives sales.
Real Estate Flyers
Visuals sell homes. Grainy photos kill deals. Use our 100lb Gloss Text to make your property photos pop with gallery-like precision. Perfect for open house sign-in sheets, listing handouts, and neighborhood farming flyers.
Schools & Training
Teachers and administrators love our low prices. Print color syllabus handouts, visual aids, and parent newsletters. Studies show color materials improve student retention by 70% and engagement by 80% compared to black and white.
Restaurant Menus
Need disposable menus or seasonal specials? Order 500+ copies on 32lb Bond paper or 100lb Gloss. It is cost-effective, hygienic (single-use options), and keeps your food photography looking fresh and appetizing.
Financial Reports
Make your data clear. Use color prints for charts, pie graphs, and heat maps in annual reports. We offer secure, confidential printing for sensitive documents, ensuring your quarterly review looks crisp and professional.
Maximize Marketing ROI with Professional packets
In an increasingly digital world, physical printed materials provide tangible brand experiences that digital channels simply cannot replicate. This is called “Haptic Memory” – the memory of touch. Research consistently demonstrates that recipients are 55% more likely to engage with full-color documents compared to monochrome alternatives. Color strategically evokes emotion, directs visual attention to key information, and increases brand recognition by up to 80%.
Cheap color copies represent one of the most cost-effective direct marketing channels available. Instead of committing to expensive offset printing setups for small runs (which require making physical plates), high-quality digital color printing on bright white paper delivers your message professionally and affordably. This agility enables A/B testing different designs and messaging without large financial commitments.
Color creates connection. Monochrome just conveys data.
Professional Finishing Services
Loose stacks of paper don’t always represent your final product. Transform your cheap color copies into polished, professional documents using our automated finishing services that add value and professionalism.
Corner Stapling
The classic finishing choice for simple packets, instructional handouts, and multi-page forms. We automatically staple the top-left corner with precision, saving you hours of manual labor.
Saddle Stitching
Ideal for booklets, programs, and catalogs (8-60 pages). Sheets are folded in half and stapled along the spine, creating a professional magazine-style appearance that lays relatively flat.
Coil Binding
A continuous plastic spiral is wound through punched holes. This allows documents to lay 360-degrees flat. Perfect for cookbooks, training manuals, and presentation decks.
Precision Folding
Machine-precision folding options include Tri-Fold (brochures), Z-Fold (accordion), and Half-Fold (greeting cards). Crisp edges and professional results every time.
Art Prep Checklist: Perfect Prints Every Time
Before you upload, run through this quick checklist. Digital printing is unforgiving of low-resolution files. Ensure your file is “print-ready” to avoid delays or quality issues.
The Golden Rule: Always save images at minimum 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch). Images taken from the web are usually 72 DPI and will appear pixelated, blocky, and blurry when printed on physical paper. If it looks good on your phone, it might not look good in print!
If your color extends to the very edge of the paper, you must include a 0.125″ bleed. This is extra artwork that extends beyond the trim line. We cut through this area to prevent hairline white borders from appearing if the paper shifts slightly during trimming.
Submit files as PDF, the industry preferred standard. PDF locks your fonts, images, and layout in place, ensuring that what you see on your screen matches the printed output exactly. Word docs can shift layout; PDFs do not.
Convert files to CMYK before uploading. Computer screens use RGB light (Red, Green, Blue); printers use CMYK ink (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). RGB-to-print conversion can shift colors (especially bright blues) to look duller. Design in CMYK for accuracy.
Teams compare walk-up Staples rates and FedEx Office counters when they need binders for Monday. Soft proof and clear page/set fields help you avoid blank backs on color copies.
If you need the cheapest place to print for a workshop, lock paper and duplex first so the live total settles before shipping. Kinkos-style quotes rarely include the same proof step.
Reorder later with the same settings so batches match. That habit saves time when marketing updates one insert inside an otherwise identical set of color copies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much are color copies compared with a walk-up counter?
Pricing updates live when you set page count, paper, sides, quantity, and turnaround. Short full color sets are common for meetings before shipping is added for your zip. Use the calculator on this page to confirm the total, then approve the digital proof before checkout.
Where can I print color copies for training packets?
Order on this page when you need page and set fields that match binders. Confirm duplex and paper so print price and shipping update before you upload a PDF. Soft proof catches blank backs and mis-ordered sheets before production starts on the selected turnaround.
Can these print double sided?
Yes when duplex is selected in the form. Confirm sides and paper so print price and shipping update before you upload a PDF. Approve the digital proof so backs align with fronts before production, especially on multi-page training packets for workshops.
What paper stocks are available?
Standard bond and heavier presentation stocks appear when offered. Each stock updates the live total in the calculator. Read the selected material note so you know whether the sheet is everyday office paper or a thicker handout stock before you upload and approve proof.
Do files need bleed?
Yes when color runs to the edge. Build files with proper bleed and keep text inside the safe zone. Upload a high-resolution PDF so the proof can verify crop marks before we print the set and calculate shipping for your delivery zip code.
How fast can sets ship?
Turnaround options appear after you pick page count and quantity. Approve the proof quickly when your meeting date is firm so production and shipping still land on time. Next-day windows show when capacity allows for your file size and selected carrier.
Is a proof included before printing?
Paid orders can include a digital proof so color and page order are checked before the set runs. Use the live calculator totals while you revise the file. Confirm quantity again after proof approval so shipping stays accurate for the final page count.
How do Staples-style per-page quotes compare here?
Walk-up counters often quote a flat per-page rate that ignores shipping. Here the calculator shows print plus delivery for your zip after you set pages, sets, and duplex. Soft proof is included on paid orders so you can catch page-order mistakes before the press run.
