In a previous discussion of A series paper sizes (at least three years ago), I mentioned that my experience with Hammermill paper (90 g/m^2) was less than satisfactory. Indeed, it was atrocious. (I acknowledge that the experience of others may be different.)
The problem was double-feeding (i.e., two sheets feeding together). It happened with both printers (HP LaserJet 4M Plus and Xerox DocuPrint N32). If was so bad, I had to clear a jam every two or three minutes. Finally, I asked my client to get me the specific paper I'd asked for in the first place (Weyerhaeuser). Once they did, I didn't have a single printer jam. I've never had that problem with either Weyerhaeuser or HP paper. My current A4 stock (cut from legal size) and 3-hole-punched letter size is Weyerhaeuser Laser. Everything else is HP LaserJet. It's all 90 g/m^2.
