Office paper

Although not a manufacturer, Xerox is the top distributor of cut-sheet paper and a significant player in the development and supply of office paper. From the early days of the photocopier the company found it necessary to work with paper mills to ensure an array of products were available that took advantage of the improving speed/image quality capabilities of their machines. The heat, electrical charge and toner used in the xerographic process often means traditional offset papers are not optimised http://www.xerox.com/go/xrx/template/009.jsp?view=Feature&ed_name=Supply_Library_choose_right_paper. The company has media laboratories in the United States and United Kingdom.
