60 gsm white paper
Does anyone know where in the UK I can buy reams of A4 white paper with
a weight of 60 gsm? This is what used to be sold under the description of "bank paper". About thirty years ago I ran a small printing business and there were many paper merchants that one could go to for papers of all weights and types. These merchants seem all to have disappeared with the advent of computer printing and suppliers now seem all to start at 80 gsm. I have been trawling the Web to find a supplier of 60 gsm paper but just cannot find anyone. David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK http://www.mesnil.demon.co.uk |

I have found that the cheaper papers, (under 2.00gbp a ream but not necessarily of a poor quality), from major suppliers such as Office World, PC World, Tesco tend to weigh in around 60/70gsm, rather than a heavier 80gsm. Try a ream ..the paper might suit. I tend to use these papers for consumable catalogues, as the heavier 80+gsm can get a bit much to handle when more than a combined few leaves. If not, then any local printer should be able to assist ..and I'm sure you'll be able to forge that contact in your sleep... hh ) Bill ZFC -- Adoption InterLink UK with -=- http://www.billsimpson.com/ Domain Host Orpheus Internet -=- http://www.orpheusinternet.co.uk/ |

Thanks for the tip, Bill. As a matter of fact I have a box of HP Home and Office paper which we bought for less than £2 a ream. I compared the thickness of the ream with a ream of Staples' Multiuse and it is indeed thinner. but the strange thing is that they both weigh about the same! Strange!
