Question

Can I print certificate paper on a regular home printer?

Answer

Yes, but within limits set by your printer. Most home printers can handle certificate paper up to a moderate cover weight, and the finish of the paper matters as much as the weight.

  • Most inkjet printers manage certificate paper up to about 80 lb cover stock.
  • Laser printers do best with smooth or matte finishes.
  • Textured stocks such as linen can cause toner adhesion issues on laser printers.
  • Check your printer's maximum paper weight specification before printing to avoid jams.
