Default A4 Paper sources

I've searched the forums but couldn't find any info on this. Where are you guys getting A4 paper of appropriate weights for modeling?

Regards,
Todd

Rick,
Have you recieved your order yet?
I just took a look at the three links you have in your other post and it appears to me that you just bought real expensive copy paper.
I have a package of copy paper here that says it is 20lb or 90kg.
The paper you bought says 110-135kg which should be roughly 24-25lb paper.
A good paper but nothing near even a light card stock.

That's cool! As long as you are happy, that's all that counts.
I was just afraid that you were going to be sorely disappointed.
