I'm looking for a few dozen sheets of that old-style computer printer paper that's Z-folded with the perforated strips on each side to feed through a 1985-style dot matrix printer. I'm looking for some really light bond paper to try for color printed body tube wraps that will minimize the addition of thickness & weight, and that stuff is the lightest I've found, by the specs. I just can't figure out how to buy less than the equivalent of about 10 reams of it for ~$100+/- in 2023. So I'm looking around to see if anyone has some sitting somewhere.
I've done a test print on the green-tinted, quad-ruled engineering pad paper we use at work. It's 15-lb bond, same as I see for the Z-fold stuff. It looks like it's probably about the minimum thickness that would work, which makes it exactly what I want to try. It did feed through the modern printer just fine.
