Bond paper is used in a wide variety of applications, from business forms to household stationery. It is a strong sheet used in most copiers and desktop printers in the form of 8 ½” X 11″ 20lb standard copy paper. It absorbs ink well due in part to the paper’s cotton fiber content, which usually ranges from twenty-five to fifty percent. However, bond papers used in copy machines or fast laser printers usually lack this high cotton content because it can jam these machines easily.
