    I need a printer paper grade that will fold well as a booklet.


    I want laser printer to print in booklet form -- 4 pages per sheet of paper. The difficulty I am having is that as the number of sheets of paper goes up, say above three sheets, the manual folds become of poor quality. My laser printer is a Brother MFC8860DN. The paper is currently Boise Polaris 20 lb, 75GSM, 10M from Office Max.

    I am wondering if a different grade of paper would make better folds so I can have more pages per booklet?

    Hi.

    It really depends on the Laser Printer. I personally like a slightly heavier, smoother and brighter paper for your purpose.
    HP has some very nice papers that are made for them.
