What is the basis weight of this item - 30#? I am interested in a lightweight paper - perforated if possible.

Hi! I was wondering you saw the description: it says that it has a base weight of 40 lbs (density of the paper). It's definitely not perforated...the Amazon picture is fairly accurate: feels and has the density of, say, the paper a butcher would wrap in...but it's brown (not white) and is NOT glossy on either side. It's like old-fashioned brown wrapping paper, and as the other commenter said, is thicker than notebook paper. I don't think it's heavier than a brown paper grocery bag...may be similar to my mind, but not so rough. Hope this helps.

I'd be inclined to check with the manufacturer on that question. It would rather depend on the weight of the paper.

The heaviest we've printed is 140 lb paper by Strathmore. We also print greeting and post cards; aside of drymounting photo paper to card stock (whose photo quality absolutely can't be beat), the best paper we've found for iP8720 direct printing is Canson Stamping Cards (beats Strathmore's inket offerings hands-down; we found it on Dick Blick's site). I don't know if Canson publishes this specific product's weight, but it's probably around ~110 lbs.

It weighs about 5 pounds, is a well made display item which has the right elevation for me to practice calligraphy. Not good for single sheets of paper. OL if using a pad or paper on a ruled or plain card surface.

The base is weighted, however it is lightweight. Any picture or paper would have the effect of a sail .

The 100 lb weight was too thick- I got only a partial punch-through even when I leaned on the punch. The lower weight card stock works very well for me (the weight you get in scrapbook paper kits). Very thin paper (like printer paper) scrunches up, but with care you can punch it and carefully ease it out. Hope this helps.

It was received today. This is 28lb paper. The physical weight of the package is 20 lbs.

The item came in an envelope and was lighter than 1 pound. I don't know the exact weight.

32 lb, I think. It's a nice, solid paper for handwritten letters, even Very Important ones.

Guess my previous andswer got sent before I was ready! Manual indicates 17 to 28 pound paper. I see other responder has used heavier paper apparently with no problem. I have not tried that.

I think it is about 120-125lb. I remember needing something thicker than index card and had no luck at local stores. This was perfect for our invitations.

Although rated for 58 lbs paper(per the manual), I have fed through 65 lbs paper with no issues. Ironically, it does give you a choice for even heavier stock in the Print dialogue window for paper options. The only issue with heavier stock is that if you fill up the paper tray to the rim, it jams often. You can solve this issue by not going over the 70% capacity in the paper tray.

Not 35 pounds. Very light. I hang mine from a cheap curtain rod and have added weight from a tent.

I don't remember the weight, but don't waste your money on this one. You'd be better off going with a model PG-6020. This one will only serve as an expensive paperweight.

medium weight cardboard. Sturdy enough but we shall see how long term storage does it. Holds lots of photos though and supposedly not destructive to the ink or paper. Hope that helps

Hi Kat - just used it to weigh my letters yesterday - it weighs in just tenthsof an ounce, so you can easily check to see if you need more postage -this item is a small giant!

I think its rated for a little over 100lbs. I lined the bottom with a peice of plywood as some others have. Helps to keep the form when loaded with various shaped items.
