Buying printer paper for your business or home
Most offices run on standard 80gsm A4 multipurpose paper. It works in laser printers, inkjet printers and photocopiers, and it's the best value per sheet when you buy by the box. If you print client-facing documents, proposals or reports, a heavier 90–100gsm premium paper looks and feels noticeably better for a small extra cost.

We stock paper by the ream (500 sheets) and by the box (usually 5 reams, or 2,500 sheets). Buying by the box brings the cost per sheet down, which adds up quickly for busy offices. [Business account customers get X / bulk pricing applies from X boxes.]
Looking for sustainable options? Our range includes [recycled and FSC-certified] papers that perform just as well in everyday printing.
[Orders placed before Xpm are dispatched same day, with delivery to most of Ireland within X working days.]
Frequently asked questions
What paper weight (GSM) should I use?
- 70–75gsm: economy paper for internal drafts and high-volume printing.
- 80gsm: the standard for everyday office printing and copying.
- 90–120gsm: premium paper for letters, proposals and documents you hand to clients.
- 160–300gsm: card, for covers, menus, invitations and certificates.
Check your printer's maximum supported weight before buying heavier card.
What size paper do I need?
A4 is the standard in Ireland and fits virtually every home and office printer. A3 is used for posters, plans and spreadsheets, and needs an A3-capable printer. A5 is common for flyers and booklets. Check your printer's specifications if you're unsure which sizes it supports.
Can I use the same paper in a laser and an inkjet printer?
Yes. Multipurpose paper is designed for both. Photo paper is usually made for inkjet printers only, and labels or transparencies used in a laser printer must be labelled laser-compatible, because laser printers run hot.
What does paper whiteness or brightness mean?
It measures how white the paper looks. Most manufacturers use the CIE whiteness scale, where everyday office paper typically scores around 145–170. A higher number gives crisper contrast for text and brighter colours.
How many sheets are in a ream or a box?
A ream contains 500 sheets. A standard box contains 5 reams, which is 2,500 sheets.
Is recycled paper reliable in office printers?
Yes. Modern recycled paper is made to the same standards as virgin-fibre paper and runs reliably in laser printers, inkjets and copiers. FSC-certified paper comes from responsibly managed forests.
Why does my printer keep jamming?
Damp or curled paper is a common cause. Store reams flat in their wrapping, away from heat and humidity, and fan the stack before loading it. Also check that the paper weight is within your printer's supported range.
