You both have been a great help. I appreciate it! Shipping is a little pricey on those.
Does is matter if the paper is for laser printers? Trying to find an alternative on Amazon
It's been our pleasure! Regarding your question, that depends on what printer you have. Are you using an inkjet printer or a laser printer?
If you're using an inkjet printer, you will want to use paper that is made for an inkjet. Another good paper people recommend here for inkjet printers is Red River Paper 50lb Premium Matte Double-sided paper. You can buy this paper at redriverpaper.com.
If you're using a laser printer, you will want to use paper that is made for laser. One good paper for laser printers is GrayTex Soft Gloss 40lb Legal Size Paper. You can buy this paper at graytex.com.
Don't use paper made for inkjet printers in a laser printer. Don't use paper made for laser printers in an inkjet printer either. Different papers are made for certain printers for a reason. Inkjet printers spray ink onto the paper. Laser printers use toner. When a laser printer starts to print, the toner gets heated up and melts onto the paper. 20lb paper can be used in both inkjet and laser printers because that paper has no coating or gloss.
I haven't found any good alternatives on Amazon. I'm afraid your best bet is to buy from one of those websites I mentioned. Matte and semi-gloss paper is hard to find in legal size. Every brick and mortar computer store I have visited doesn't sell matte or semi-gloss paper in legal size. You have to order it online.
