Printing Coupons...please help me

[Mia]

Hello.

I am new in coupon deals and freebies and I have questions please.

When I see a printable coupon does that mean that I can print that on a regular A4 white paper or there is a special paper for that?

For what do I need special software for printing coupons (I read about that from some site)? Can't I just print with ordinary HP all-in-one printer software on the ordinary paper and get a discount from the store where they have the product marked on the coupon?

Hi. Yes, you can print it on your regular paper

I just print my on a regular A4 paper. I'm pretty sure you can use any printer to print it. I use a laser print to print mine, since I can save more money in the long run. However, I heard that if you use special paper (likes the glossy one) then shops tend to accept it more.

Thank you.

Yes, totally plain regular paper is fine - and often you can get away with printing just in black and white too - you'll get to know your stores, and which take coupons easily or not.
As for special software sometimes needed - yes, there are a few sites where you have to have their coupon program, or one they suggest - but they let you know ahead of time. For the one needed for my ziploc site coupons (ziploc dot ca), it's totally safe to download the one they recommend, for example.

I think the coupon software is for their security - to prevent people from printing off more than the allowed number of coupons. I've found that when they use that software, the coupon just goes directly to the printer, without showing up on the screen first. So you can't reprint it or specify how many copies you want to print.
