24 COLOR MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Types of Paper
This chart summarizes the characteristics of papers for digital color copying and printing. It is not intended to be an
exclusive guide to ordering paper. Rather, use it to create new ideas for using papers in jobs. Remember, not all
paper in a grade comes in every combination of size, weight, and/or finish.
The size and weight combination of Xerox papers
are underlined and in bold face type.
