How To Print on Wood

Printing on Real Wood Paper

How To Print On Real Wood Veneer Paper Sheets

We are often asked which printers we recommend for printing on Real Wood Paper sheets. We offer some basic printing information for both our Professional and DIY Printing customers on our FAQ’s Page.

While we don’t specialize in printing, and it’s impossible for us to test every inkjet and laser printer on the market, we understand the importance of recommending printers compatible with Real Wood Paper for our customers’ convenience.

DIY Printing

For our DIY customers, using a straight-through feed laser printer is the best option. However, sourcing such printers with this feature is becoming increasingly challenging in the USA. Consequently, we’ve taken the initiative to test several reasonably priced home and office printers. You will find that information at the link below.

Your Printer’s Capabilities

Achieving impeccable prints on Real Wood Paper hinges largely on your printer’s capabilities. Although factors like wood sheet thickness and grain direction are pertinent, the printer’s ability to handle thick cardstock-type sheets is equally crucial. We recommend referring to your printer manual to review its unique specifications.

About Our Wood Sheets

In the samples provided below, you’ll notice all prints are produced on our Short Grain 8.5″ x 11″ Real Wood Paper sheets. Are you wondering why Short Grain over Long Grain? Real Wood Paper has more flexibility when bending with the grain, facilitating smoother passage through the printer’s rollers—an essential consideration in the printing process.

*Note that the pictures below are scanned with a HP ENVY Photo 7855 printer/scanner and there has been no editing, enhancing or touching of the photos. They are exactly as scanned by the aforementioned scanner.
