how heavy is "way heavy"? More than 100lb?

do you prefer to buy online?
always better to check out a local store. you can see the paper for yourself.

lifeinbinary, consider yourself avenged for all the times I beat you to a post. I was gonna suggest neenah also. ;)
hey, spifflink, are you going to be doing the printing yourself? Or is it gonna be offset?

dippy, in the words of napoleon dynamite:
"yesssssssssss"

if you're using the i9900, you should check to make sure that whatever paper you get will hold the ink well (if it's too glossy, sometimes the ink just slides off if the paper's not suited for inkjets).
Or you can just get a whole reem of HP photo paper, which will definitely hold the ink.

what is 'smooth' and 'super smooth' is that like glossy?
- dippy0
"super smooth" is like fax paper -- it's very untextured. But glossy means it's coated.

have you thought about calling a paper company and talking to a rep? while you're at it, ask them to send out samples to you.
