You might not want to use the same printer and paper type for everything you print. Standard 8.5-by-11-inch letter size paper will be fine for printing some of your worksheets, but from time to time, you’ll probably need to use 8.5-by-14-inch legal size paper. You can also choose from a variety of media options that include materials other than the standard type of paper you would find in most homes and offices. For example, you might want to print on coated paper, transparencies, envelopes, or even T-shirt transfer paper.
