plain paper
Unmarked writing surface
Plain paper is ordinary, uncoated paper without special finishes, textures, or preprinted elements.
It contrasts with letterhead, glossy photo paper, or ruled notebook paper.
Office printers typically use plain paper.
In legal and business contexts, a plain paper document lacks official stamps or watermarks: The contract was drawn up on plain paper.
