Having just spent years getting through 5 reams of printer paper, I find myself now getting low enough to purchase more. However, as its been years since I bought some, I could do with some ideas on the best place to get it. Having trawled the usual places, there seems to be some big differences in prices and quality.

Any recommendations on the best to get for my inkjet would be appreciated. I dont print anything other than documents with the odd colour graphic on, but do like to use bothe sides in the interts of sustainabilty etc wink

Also, best place to purchase ?

You must know a friend or relative that works in an office environment.  They steal you some, that's where domestic reams of paper come from.

Unfortunatley a criminal record would see me out of a job. Nothing is worth me losing the right to retire at 50, especially a few 100 sheets of paper wink

Its not you doing the stealing... but I see your point, so try to pick a friend or relative least likely to be part of a cunning office-supply sting operation.

Good luck!  ph34r

I find Tescos 80gsm paper ( not value! )to be excellent quality. Gives the appearance of being more than 80gsm.

For just every day printing and throw away stuff I have a box of paper from Viking or Staples (about £10 for the box). For business correspondence eg. letters, invoices etc. I have an 80-100gsm (I'm not sure how much it is) weight paper in brilliant white. The slight extra weight just gives a much less cheap feeling to the paper. Sounds similar to Chris's however mine is HP or Epson I think.
