What is the maximum "safe" weight of inkjet paper?

Can I use glossy laser paper for an inkjet printer?

  • I found the perfect paper for a school project, but the paper is made for laser printers and I have an Epson inkjet printer. The paper is a 32lb coated glossy paper. I read that glossy inkjet paper can ruin a laser printer, but will glossy paper made for a laser printer work in my inkjet printer?

  • Answer:

    A laser uses heat to fuse toner to the paper. An inkjet sprays it on. I would believe that paper made to be used under heat is not the right one for liquid ink. It probably won't work. By the way, I have been getting cartridges for my epson printers at www.ccs-digital.com for 50 cents. You pay 2.50 and get $2 back for the empties.

It won't ruin the printer, however the ink will not adhere to the page. IF you are looking for a lightweight glossy inkjet paper look for magazine paper or everyday photo paper.

Definitely not, they're not designed in that way and they're not suitable... it would be far better to just use regular paper - and it's cheaper too.
