Laser Paper Paper designed for laser printing. Laser paper allows the richest
color and black and white output and the most consistent coverage
(especially for large areas of one color). It is best for prepress proofs. For

indicated by an arrow on the side of the wrapping covering the media, and
that side is slightly smoother. See also plain paper.
