One of the last things I'd expect to make me happy. Previously I used the cheapest paper there was, thinking "paper is paper". This time I decided to try buying the "Silky smooth texture" 120g/m² (instead of the usual 80g/m²) paper. It was 3x as expensive.
I just got it. Holly hell! It's so white, so smooth, the thickness is just right, ink doesn't leak through it, text looks much better on it. It feels so good, I can't stop touching it and looking at it.
I am 17, I definitely wouldn't expect office paper to make me happy, but here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is something to be said about having a decent quality paper in your printer.
It just feels good in your hand and then the look, the look of it is just so much more pleasing to the eye. It is very worth the cost. Cheap paper has its place, it really does, but if I am printing anything that someone else will look at, then a good paper is the only choice.
