Choosing paper for booklets

  • A booklet sheet holds two pages side by side, so the paper must be at least twice the page width. A5 pages fit on A4, Half Letter pages on Letter.
  • Small sizes such as A6, Passport and Field Notes-style can be printed two copies per sheet.
  • 80–100 g/m² (20–27 lb) paper works for most booklets; fountain pen users often prefer 90–100 g/m².
