Good Quality Paper
I want to print some inserts for my Filofax and the normal copying paper I have is a bit coarse. Normal Filofax paper seems to be around 75 GSM and has a slightly silky (not quite shiny) surface. I'm struggling to find paper like that - I want A4 as I print in columns then cut in half to get A5. All the searches return either pile it high sell it cheap stuff or photographic quality (too stiff) paper. Any suggestions appreciated :-) -- Jeff Gaines Wiltshire UK That's an amazing invention but who would ever want to use one of them?

Any suggestions appreciated :-) If you to to an office supply store like Staples, Office Depot, etc. check them. They have several different weights of papers. The grade that we use is for business cards is identified as Card Stock, and the one we use for brochures is Brochure Stock. Each is slightly different weight. There are also several types of surface for the different paper, Matte, Glossy, Etc. Take a sample of what your would like and ask a sales person. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

Nearest Staples is about an hour away in the nearest big town :-) Many years ago I had to go to Osaka Japan for the company I worked for. We got in at night. As I got ready to go out the next morning I speculated on how long I would walk before I saw something obviously American. It was about 2 block before I saw the first Shakey's Pizza. It is amazing how uniform our world is becoming. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

Good idea though, thank you :-) Do you have Staples or Office Depot in the UK? Myself, I'd go to Kelly Paper, but it appears that it is a predominantly west coast US chain. My nearest one has more paper than you can shake a stick at, samples of most papers they carry, and staff that is knowledgable about their products. Over at Office Depot (slightly closer), there's only a stick-shaking quantity of paper, and the staff has no idea what any of it is like. I think you want to find the local equivilent of a Kelly Paper. Elijah ------ buys plain paper from Kelly or Office Depot, and specialty stuff from Kelly |

It was one of only three I could find (anywhere in the world) in the colour I wanted so I took a chance and bought it from a shop in Studio City, CA, using eBay Global Shipping. I should have asked the supplier to send some paper with it :-) -- Jeff Gaines Wiltshire UK I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow, isn't looking good either. |
