Success as a printer can sometimes be an arduous task depending on the demands of the customer or the resources available, but that success typically begins with choosing the right paper for your application. Different sheets deliver different results and the choice that’s right for your job depends on the result your customers would like to achieve. Paper selection is even more critical in the current direct mail climate, given the rising prices and demands of the medium. If your goal is to mitigate cost and increase your return on investment without sacrificing quality, then it’s time to talk paper choice.

The Right Paper for the Right Job

If you’ve been around the printing business, then you know that nailing your paper choice is the best way to avoid unexpected production delays and ensure your jobs run smoothly. Considering the speed at which inkjet presses run, the rigors involved in post-processing and the quantities produced when printing for direct mail, pitfalls can have serious implications of the total cost of the job making your paper selection even more crucial. The best sheet for today’s direct mail climate will help optimize your jobs without worry.
