Thank you sir, whats the avg price for a ream of Card stock? And do you need a special printer to print on? Tried once and it got jammed, huge line in my Papercraft

The average is about 10-14 for 250 sheets. no you shouldn't need a special printer just make sure to put it in before you start printing. Your printer may or may not have an option to change paper type make sure you read the dimensions and all that jazz

i got my 250 sheet 65lb cardstock at staples for about $12.50. my printer hasn't had any problems so far, just don't put a lot in at once, like 10 sheets, cause it may have trouble grabbing it.

I get mine from wal-mart.
250 sheets for $5.50.
I think it's 110lb.

Printers can usually take up to 110 lb. cardstock without any problems. According to a person at an office supply store I was asking that question to years ago, 110 lb. cardstock seems to be the higher end of what printers can usually take with ease. Once the weight goes above 110 lb. for an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper, then it may jam in some printers. By then, the paper is so thick and strong that it should come back out of the printer just fine. Most likely, the rollers just won't be able to get the paper to go through the printer past a certain point, and it will just keep printing ink on the same part of the paper.

is 110 lb. better than 65 lb.? and what does lb mean anyway?
>> Anonymous !!jG6ZvayWdrD
lb stands for pounds dunno why...110 is thicker than the 65 doesn't really matter though, I like the thick stuff myself but the 65 is pretty hardy

Confused? so am I.

so basically LB is different thickness (and thus stiffnes) and a set number (Y) of sheets weighs X number of pounds.
