FAQs

What is the main advantage of Xerox Colotech+ paper?

Its ultra-smooth, high-white surface is designed to enhance color vibrancy and image sharpness, delivering exceptional results for digital color printing.

Can I use this paper for inkjet printers?

This paper is primarily recommended for laser printing. While it may work with some inkjet printers, performance and ink absorption can vary significantly. For best results with inkjet, use paper specifically designed for that technology.

Is this paper suitable for everyday black and white printing?

Yes, it can be used for black and white printing, offering crisp text. However, its premium features are most noticeable and beneficial for color prints. For very high-volume, basic text printing, a lighter weight paper might be more economical.

How should I store this paper?

Store the paper flat in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain its quality.

What does 'ECF' mean?

ECF stands for Elemental Chlorine Free. It means the paper pulp was bleached using processes that do not involve elemental chlorine, which is considered more environmentally friendly.

What does FSC certification indicate?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification indicates that the wood fiber used to make the paper comes from responsibly managed forests that protect biodiversity and the rights of indigenous peoples.

How many sheets are in a pack?

There are 500 sheets per pack.

Troubleshooting

Paper jams frequently

Ensure paper is loaded correctly and not overfilled in the tray. Check that the paper guides are set to the A4 size. Verify that the printer can handle 100gsm paper. Try fanning the paper edges before loading.

Print colors appear dull or washed out

Confirm that the printer's color settings are optimized for high-quality paper. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in the printer driver settings. Check if the print head or toner is low.

Uneven printing or streaks

This is often a printer issue. Run your printer's cleaning cycle. Ensure the paper is not damaged or bent. Check the printer's rollers for debris.

Show-through on duplex prints

While this paper has high opacity, extremely heavy ink coverage on both sides could still cause minor show-through on some devices. Reduce ink coverage if possible or consider slightly heavier paper if this is a critical issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional print quality for color documents and graphics.
  • Super-smooth finish enhances image reproduction.
  • High opacity is excellent for duplex (double-sided) printing.
  • Substantial 100gsm weight gives a premium feel.
  • Environmentally certified (FSC, ECF).

Cons

  • Higher weight may not be suitable for all standard text-based printing needs.
  • Higher cost compared to standard office paper.
  • Primarily designed for digital printing; performance on inkjet may vary.
  • Pack size (500 sheets) might be less economical for very high-volume users than bulk packs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

No specific setup is required for the paper itself. Ensure your printer is configured to handle the 100gsm media weight. Consult your printer's manual for specific guidance on loading heavier paper stocks.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended Usage: Laser printing (color and mono).
  • Paper Size: A4 (210x297 mm).
  • Printer Compatibility: Suitable for most A4 laser printers and copiers that support 100gsm paper weight. Always check your specific printer's specifications.

Care:

  • Store paper flat in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Avoid bending or creasing the sheets.
  • Do not expose to extreme temperatures.
  • Handle sheets by the edges to avoid transferring oils from fingertips, which can affect print quality.
