Been to tesco looking to buy printing paper. There are so many to choose, the cheapest value is £1.99. How do I choose a decent one? Will be using it for general printing. Thanks

    I used to buy branded ones but I don't bother any more, I just get cheap paper.
    I've used the Asda one before with no problems, it worked quite well.

    Inkjet. I guess could use the cheap one for general printing and buy good ones for printing CV etc. Thanks

    I bought some from asda today £1.50 reduced from £3.00

    It was HP Home and Office branded, 500 sheet pack, 80g/m2. Seems great quality for the price and cheapest I've seen about. hth

    I usually buy the cheap stuff and have no problem with it. It's handy because my kids tend to keep taking it to draw on

    If you want paper with a decent look and feel, try 90 gsm or preferably 100 gsm. It will cost, though...

    Ive used tesco value paper before, currently we are using asdas smart price printer paper which it says is suitabel for all printers and we have a pack of tesco recycled printer paper which is 80gsm, to be honest paper is paper to me, both asda and tesco both feel the same

    Then see my post above and try a pack of 100 gsm paper. You will be amazed at the improvement in quality (and price!)...
