Product Information
Full details
Discovery A3 Paper is specifically engineered for eco-conscious office environments that require high-quality output without the waste associated with traditional heavier stocks. By leveraging advanced eucalyptus fiber technology, this 75gsm paper provides a professional-grade printing surface while utilizing 40% less wood than standard 80gsm alternatives, making it an excellent choice for daily reports and internal documents; however, users should note that the lighter weight may result in slightly more show-through for heavy-duty, double-sided color printing.

FAQs
Is Discovery 75gsm paper suitable for professional brochures?
It is suitable for internal marketing and draft brochures, but for professional, high-gloss external marketing materials, a heavier stock is generally recommended.
How does 75gsm compare to 80gsm?
The 75gsm paper is slightly thinner and lighter than 80gsm paper, which is why it consumes 40% less wood while still performing well in standard printers.
Can I use this in an inkjet printer?
Yes, Discovery paper is specifically engineered to perform well in both inkjet and laser printer models.
Does the paper curl when printing large images?
As with any paper, high ink density can cause minor curling; ensure you allow printed sheets to cool flat on the output tray.
What is the primary environmental benefit?
The primary benefit is the reduction in wood consumption by 40% compared to traditional 80gsm paper, aiding in more sustainable office procurement.
Troubleshooting
Paper jamming in printer
Ensure the paper guide in the printer tray is aligned properly and that you have fanned the stack to remove static electricity.
Ink show-through on the back of the page
Adjust printer density settings to lower ink levels and ensure the printer is configured for the correct paper weight.
Paper feeding multiple sheets at once
Reduce the stack height in the input tray and check that the humidity in the room is not causing the paper to stick together.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly lower wood fiber usage than standard 80gsm paper
- High-quality white finish provides excellent readability
- Reliable feeding in high-speed office printers
- Lightweight construction reduces overall shipping weight and storage volume
Cons
- Increased risk of image show-through on double-sided color prints
- May feel less substantial to the touch than traditional 80gsm paper
- Not intended for heavy-ink professional photography or high-end artistic proofs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, store Discovery A3 paper in a cool, dry environment, keeping the reams sealed in their original moisture-resistant wrapping until ready for use to prevent curling caused by humidity. When loading into the printer tray, fan the sheets slightly to ensure proper separation. This paper is compatible with all standard laser and inkjet office printers. If your printer has a manual feed setting for "Lightweight Paper" or "75gsm Media," selecting this option will ensure the printer calibrates the heating element and speed to produce the best finish. Always maintain the printer’s rollers by cleaning them periodically, as lighter-weight paper can sometimes be more sensitive to dust buildup within the print path.
