Canon Recycled Classic printing paper A4 500 sheets White

Canon Recycled Classic printing paper A4 500 sheets White is a multipurpose office paper designed for laser and inkjet printers. The sheets measure A4 (210 x 297 mm) and each pack contains 500 sheets of 80 g/m² white paper. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled fibres and produced without optical brighteners, this paper carries the Blauer Engel environmental certificate and is suitable for further recycling into new paper.

Advantages

The paper offers consistent feed and reliable print performance across a wide range of laser and inkjet devices, reducing the risk of jams and misfeeds. Its 80 g/m² weight provides a balanced feel—substantial enough for everyday documents while remaining compatible with standard office printers and copiers. The recycled composition and absence of optical whiteners reduce environmental impact and support circular use, as the material is certified for further recycling.

Suitable for

• Everyday office printing of text documents, reports and drafts
• Inkjet and laser printed mailings, forms and invoices
• Internal presentations, handouts and meeting materials
• General copying and multi-function device use

When it may not be suitable

This paper is not formulated for specialised photo printing or high-gloss graphic outputs that require high whiteness or coated surfaces. For jobs that need optical brighteners or premium glossy finishes, alternative coated or photographic papers will provide better colour vibrancy and sheen. Also, for very heavy double-sided printing in some older printers, consider testing first to ensure optimal duplex performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Remove the required number of sheets from the pack and load them into the printer tray according to your device manufacturer’s instructions, aligning edges and adjusting guides to prevent skewing. Select appropriate print settings for plain paper and 80 g/m² weight in your printer driver to optimise print quality and drying time. For duplex printing, allow a short drying interval if printing heavy ink coverage on both sides, and check a test print to confirm correct orientation and feed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify printer compatibility with 80 g/m² plain paper for both inkjet and laser devices
• Consider whether optical brighteners or glossy/coated paper are required for specific colour-critical or photographic work
• Confirm storage conditions: keep the paper in a dry, room-temperature environment to avoid moisture-related curling or paper feed issues

Usage recommendations

For best results, store unopened packs flat in their original wrapping until use. When printing mixed documents, set the driver to plain paper and 80 g/m² to reduce smudging and improve feed reliability. For double-sided documents, run a short test to check duplex feed and drying, especially on high-coverage pages.
