HP 32 Lb....

[DeeJay]

This HP32lb thing has been driving me mad ever since I discovered FPN - can anybody say what the European HP equivalent paper to 32lb is? There is this one, which is 180gsm, and I think the heaviest in the European HP catalogue. Could it be the same?

After reading the reviews for the HP 32lb. paper, I am going to be buying some of this paper soon.

Does anyone who has purchased this paper have the HP product code or a link to it on HPs site or a retailer?

trying to locate it in the UK also like 'encremental' above and there are few 120 gsm (Euro equivelant) papers but not sure if they are the correct ones as they are described as coated laser printer papers.

 

Thanks

So, I finally bought a ream and have printed my Cornell template to it...

 

This paper is AWESOME. It feels very smooth and takes ink from the LAMYs and 51s very well...

Waterman Blue Black and Aurora Black so far....soon to try PR Plum

 

 

Does anyone know how archival HP 32 is?

I think 32lb is 120 gsm, then 180 gsm is probably cardboard.

 

What's 28lb in gsm?

 

Thanks.

From this link, mentioned above by DeeJay, you get

 

In case a translation from US 'basis weights' to the gsm 'grammage' measure used

elsewhere is needed, there is a useful chart at

Some of the equivalencies from this thread are -

 

20lb - 75 gsm

24lb - 90 gsm

32lb - 120 gsm

 

I think most 'noname' general purpose copy paper in the UK is about 80gsm.

In a recent(ish) thread, there were folks wondering if Office Depot was discontinuing the HP 32# laserjet paper. Not to worry. I received an Office Depot catalog in the mail today and it's listed for less than $17.00/ream.

All this talk about this paper finally got the best of me, as I picked up a ream of it today while out to buy ink cartridges for my printer. It's very nice stuff - I'll enjoy using it! After some tests, I've found that it also takes inkjet printing quite well, though it helps to create a dedicated profile for it for the crispest results.

I'm glad to find this post today. I didn't know HP 32# is good writing paper, and cheap too. Need to buy a ream next time.

what is the average weight of the office copy paper?

20#
