Is 80 gms printer paper getting thinner - or am I just imagining it!
Certainly getting more expensive

0.1mm per sheet - a good way to count it is to use a micrometer.

Why would you actually want to count it?

To print 200 sheets of something. Despite this being the 21st century, printers are useless at counting. They tend to forget where they got up to when the cartridge runs out etc.

And ....... have you ever seen anyone do that?

Only myself.


At least that makes sense. o one else would use that method to count sheets of paper.


Far quicker than actually counting them.


yeah sure it is. Why donlt they use that method in banks then to count notes in ATMs ?


What do they do : have a micrometer on a chain next to the printer?

Why would I chain it up? It's in a drawer of miscellaneous tools nearby.


Like an angle grinder in case you want to cut the sheets up into A5 or smaller.
An SDS drill as a hole punch.


Don't be silly.


I was emulating you or should that be simulating, now I'll just head butt the doorframe for authentisity.
