I'll reiterate my previous warning on the Hammermill paper. Their heavier grade (90 g/m2) jammed both my LaserJet 4M+ (end-feed) and my Xerox N32 (side-feed). The jamming wasn't just occasional, but every few sheets. In the case of the LaserJet, the jamming was caused by double feeds (paper too thin). With the Xerox N32, both double feeding and crumpling occurred. The same weight of Weyerhaeuser has almost never jammed either printer. My current stock of A4 is cut-down legal-size Weyerhaeuser First Choice Laser (which is, by the way, 94 brightness). The jamming occurred when I was working towards a critical deadline for a client (printing copies of a seminar I was to give). For the next go around, I insisted that they buy the Weyerhaeuser. The remaining Hammermill paper is now providing me with a lifetime supply of telephone message and grocery list paper.
