Papers that make business sense LOGIC Logo
Understanding paper doesn't need to be difficult
LOGIC makes it perfectly clear with our simple definitions of common paper and environmental terms.

Archive quality

Papers accredited with ISO 9706 are suitable for archiving use.

Coated papers

Available in matt and gloss finishes. It is ideal for high profile projects, particularly when using photography, creative applications and graphics.

Colour inkjet paper

Gives superior results on inkjet printers with quick and even ink absorption. It's particularly good for colour imagery and graphics jobs.

Colour laser paper

Specially designed for colour laser technology, it has a particularly smooth and thick quality to the paper. It is best for printing lots of colour imagery and graphics.

Grammage

This is how paper's weight is measured. Lighter papers are generally used for internal use, while heavier papers give a substantial and quality feel to external communications.

ISO 14001

An international environmental management standard that ensures continual improvement in the environmental performance of organisations and their processes.

Multi-functional paper

Suitable for use in all office technologies. A top quality paper will give good results on a wide range of projects. Not the best choice for projects with high degree of colour and imagery.

Opacity

High opacity means the paper is suitable for double sided printing or intensive colour printing.

Recycled fibre

Waste paper that has been recovered from used paper products, for example, office paper waste, magazines and general printed material.

Resolution

A measure of the detail that can be reproduced in dpi (Dots Per Inch). The higher the figure, the better the result.

Virgin fibre

Wood fibre harvested primarily for the use in paper, pulp or board production.

Sustainable development

Maintaining economic growth whilst protecting the environment and natural resources for future generations.
