One GB of text takes 677.963 pages on average^1. This is probably a conservative estimate, given that RimWorld logs contain quite a lot of whitespace.

You'll need 73.897.967 sheets of paper, assuming double sided printing. That's 147.796 reams of paper, or 29.560 boxes of 5 reams. At $24,99 per box^2 (currently on discount!), you'll pay about $738.704 and 40 cents. The good news is that you'll have 4 reams of paper leftover, which should last you a good while if you stop printing output logs.

Each box weighs about 25,2 pounds^2 (or 11,43 kg in units that make sense). That comes down to 337,9 metric tonnes of paper, or 10 semi-trucks loaded to the US maximum weight limit^3. You'd have to contact Amazon to see whether this qualifies for free Prime delivery.

Sadly, I don't have the time to calculate what you'll spend on ink (or toner, and the replacement printers you'll need), but you can probably add another cool half a million.

It's called «isometric paper», you can buy it (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-Isometric-100-Sheet-Inches-1242-5/dp/B000HF6ZE8) or download and print (e.g. http://www.printfreegraphpaper.com/gp/i-m-5-a4.pdf), or draw it yourself and print.

u/sunev · 9 pointsr/pics

Several years ago I bought some water-resistant National Geographic Adventure paper which I've found useful for a number of projects.

I couldn't find it on Amazon anymore but THIS appears to be something similar.

u/MasterFubar · 8 pointsr/firstworldanarchists

.02¢, or $0.0002

1500 pages cost $15.14, meaning it costs $0.01 per page. Assuming he used .02 pages to make that sign, that would be .02¢. He forgot to calculate how much he spent on ink, of course, which would make it slightly more expensive.

u/IAmAWizard_AMA · 8 pointsr/CozyPlaces

Sure, it's actually two parts though

Here's the Paper™ part

And here's the Pen™ part

Just combine them together and you're good

u/intern_steve · 8 pointsr/videos

This is what 40 lbs of paper looks like (4000 sheets of 20 lb wt. paper). You'd have to stack another two reams on top of that to hit 50. The biggest book I had to deal with in high school was The American Pageant. It's over 1000 hard-cover-bound, shiny, thin, tears-slightly-too-easily text-book pages long, and as featured here, ships at 5.4 pounds. If you had six classes, and each class had a large book like this, you'd have to carry another three textbooks' weight and size in notebooks to round up to 50 pounds. People often overestimate the weight of the bags they carried (unless they're at an airport) because "really freakin' heavy" is a metric that changes as you get older and 50 is an easy number to settle on.

u/irrational_design · 4 pointsr/boardgames

I typically use a linen finish paper like this one:

Southworth 25% Cotton Business Paper, 8.5” x 11", 24 lb, Linen Finish, White, 100 Sheet (P554CK)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0087D7ZBE/

If you don’t like a linen finish you could use something like:

GP Spectrum Premium 96 Ink Jet & Laser Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 3-Ream (1500 Sheets) (998605)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BB5DK8M/

Obviously this is American sized paper using American weights. If I was elsewhere, I’d look for A4 paper around 89gsm.

u/pre_marital_sax · 3 pointsr/cricut

I used Staples Matte White sticker paper that I bought off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MD4IYIQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


I had some sticker paper from Cricut, but it was wayyy too thick for the printer and caused the stickers to print halfway down the page all messed up lol.

u/nachorevolution · 3 pointsr/typewriters

Not the lines paper your looking for l, but I’ve fallen in love with this paper: FIDELITY Onion Skin White Paper - 8 1/2 x 11 in 10 lb Bond Smooth 100 per Package https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009R4WZFI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pqywDbBV0KV8T

Super thin so the letters show up so nicely. Multiple sheets give a gauzy glowing effect and it’s like and folds easy.

The other day I was writing poetry on it and crinkling it up then un-crinkling. The paper didn’t tear at all. Super strong for how thin it is.

u/Glenbard · 3 pointsr/preppers

I tend to move every two years or so for my job. I buy waterproof paper example and just print local topo maps for the areas around my location or the route(s) to my bug-out location. The beauty of the paper is that you can print other things on it too (like HAM frequencies you can use during emergencies, etc.).

I also have a collection of various ponchos with various cammo patterns on them. I switch the poncho for the season and/or location I am at. A poncho can cover you and your pack at the same time during rain. You can use it as an improvised shelter. You can usually pick a poncho up pretty cheap in the hunting (not camping) isle of walmart. The reason you want a location/season specific poncho is that it makes for a very rapidly-deployable camouflage while bugging out. If you hear someone approaching and don't have time to get away, you can risk just tossing that poncho(s) over you and your family and hopefully being unnoticed.

I keep a small amount of anti-venom in my garage refrigerator next to my BOB. It is region-specific. I would hate to successfully bug out of a population center during a SHTF situation, dodging looters, starving people, gangs, murders, rapists... just to end up dead anyway from a simple snake-bite while laying low.

There is so much more. PM me with your area if you want more ideas for your location. I've lived on 4 continents and had a BOB on each and throughout the USA (minus the northwest and upper mid-west - I've not lived there yet).

Edited: my horrible spelling and some of the grammar - lest the nazis descend.

u/Devil_Nights · 3 pointsr/DnD

Um. It is. I have a pad that I picked up at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago.

u/vertdupuy · 3 pointsr/toledo

Call Commerce Paper.

-or-

Amazon has some.

u/downvote_dinosaur · 3 pointsr/bootlegmtg

that's really similar to how I make mine, except I use de-foiled backs. I use modern cards just for ease of access, but to be kinda authentic you could use Urza block foils. I foil peel the cards, and then glue on my printed faces. I'm currently printing on 15 lb paper, which is super thin, but not thin enough. I'm about to try dissolving paper so I can basically silk screen the ink straight onto the card. I'm aligning cardstock and printed paper using a 3-d printed card positioner I made, which is basically a frame that fits over the printed paper and allows me to drop the card on with perfect accuracy.

u/FPFan · 2 pointsr/fountainpens

GP Spectrum http://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-Premium-Bright-Inches-998605/dp/B00BB5DK8M works well, this was recommended a while back by someone here, sorry can't remember offhand who, and I tried it and liked it. Nice bright white, behaves well with fountain pens. Not a bad price for 1500 sheets shipped, and I can use it in my laser printer too, so I don't have to order reams for both uses.

u/smilbandit · 2 pointsr/funny
  1. get some sticker paper

  2. print out pictures of your boss. maybe real or put his head on another body, your choice.

  3. take apart clock

  4. put stickers on clock face and bands.

  5. put clock back together and hang back up.

  6. wait
u/kitzkatz38 · 2 pointsr/Etsy

For "prints" - I'm able to make 300 that have substantial amount of white space...as in not completely full color edge-to-edge, but illustration, or lots of colored text & boxes on white background. But I find to print 2 A2 cards on a sheet with a full bleed is about 30-40 seconds or so. I haven't used a stopwatch or what not, but I usually just let the printer do it's thing, I run off and do errands like the dishes, and just come back to make sure the ink isn't streaking if it's warned me that it's low. Usually a sign the ink is low is if there's like a skip in the print, or a very thin line...or if a color like magenta is done then the print will be lacking the pink tones.

-------------
I get everything from Amazon, and currently I've found these to work great:

  • Hammermill 80lb Cover (it's very velvety feeling and takes ink well, not super stiff but a good overall cardstock weight). It feeds VERY WELL through the printer.

  • Accent Opaque 120lb Cover I bought 1200 sheets of this. It's VERY stiff board and really adds substantial weight to greeting cards, and takes color very well. The only downside is because it is very thick, every so often the printer won't grab the paper to feed through if you try to pre-load 5+ sheets of it. I have to do 2-3 sheets at a time for the printer to be able to grab it. There's also 100lb as well that's slightly thinner and good for cards and feeds a little better but I got the 120 because I had some weird Amazon coupon to make it much cheaper than the 100.


    I've also found great color with the other following papers:

  • Hammermill 24# paper Excellent for just daily printing - I found 20# to be very thin but still doable! But love the 24# because the colors turn out nice and smooth.

  • Canon Luster Photo Paper This paper is amazing for photography prints...I'm not too keen on glossy types but this makes the color feel richer and the luster texture helps to hide any small jpeg articfacting or imperfections in the file/print.
u/SarcasticOptimist · 2 pointsr/fountainpens

Well, a solid black to begin with. The J Herbin Black they recommend is just over $9 on Amazon. For a nice shine, there's Diamine Quartz Black, which is $8 on ebay. If permanence is a concern, Sams Club sells Parker Quink for around $7.70 if you're not a member. Then maybe a sample collection from Jet.com, Xfountainpen, or Goulet. If there's a color captured in a photo that you want to write with, there's Tekker Inks for custom jobs for quite cheap.

As for paper, I'd go with 32lb HP Poly or Hammermill Laser or Color Copy. Use the custom dot generator and make a PDF to print out copies (I recommend doing this with a laser printer with built in duplex for your sanity). Rhodia and Kokuyo Campus make great notebooks if you want something premade and trusted.

u/joef_3 · 2 pointsr/Leathercraft

Assuming your printer can print A4 sized paper, you can buy it on Amazon, it's even eligible for free shipping with Prime:

https://www.amazon.com/A4-Premium-Printer-Paper-Available/dp/B076QK6VLN/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1540253556&sr=8-7&keywords=a4+paper

u/Anonymous3891 · 2 pointsr/WildernessBackpacking

Thanks for posting that, I never even thought to check for weatherproof copy paper. I print quite a few maps so that could be really handy.

If you have access to a laser printer, this stuff looks to be considerably cheaper per page and you can buy a smaller quantity to test it out:

http://www.amazon.com/Rite-Rain-Weather-Copier-25-Pack/dp/B000KEJX90/

Rite in the Rain maintains an active reddit account and gives useful advice on /r/pens and other subreddits. They of course push their products, too, but only when appropriate. I've got a few notepads and it seems like good stuff.

EDIT: Just noticed the inkjet paper, a bit more expensive though: http://www.amazon.com/Rite-7511-M-Waterproof-Ink-Jet-Paper/dp/B002XQT8WU/

u/kheszi · 1 pointr/printers

As mentioned by /u/daviiiiiid - any 20 lbs 92 bright would be an ideal minimum for high quality everyday printing. 20lb is also the lightest weight paper, which matters if you are doing a large amount of printing and want to avoid unnecessary bulk. Office Depot, Staples, Costco, etc. often have sales on this stuff. Amazon also offers it for around $40/case (5,000 sheets):

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Bright-Multipurpose-Copy-Paper/dp/B01FV0F13E/

https://www.amazon.com/Hammermill-Letter-Bright-Sheets-105007/dp/B0012IOXWU/

I also keep a few reams of premium paper on hand for special print jobs that I want to have on the very best paper.

HP Premium Laserjet 32lb 100 bright is an excellent choice:

https://www.amazon.com/HP-Premium-Choice-Laserjet-Letter/dp/B000099O2W/

HP "Colorlok" paper is intended mainly for inkjet printing and has little benefit for laser, so you can disregard that unless you plan to use the paper on more than one printer.

u/Top19 · 1 pointr/Austin

Just to give a reference for page length, Amazon's documentation for their Hard Drive Storage Cloud Service is about 1000 pages. This is just for the storage cloud service, let alone the other 50+ services.

I think the tendency throughout the world now is for page length to be longer. Why is this? Better word processing options, better printers, better document collaboration (so more people can add more stuff), etc.

BTW if I had to guess, probably all documentation for AWS's cloud computing platform is probably around 100,000 pages. To be put this in perspective, the first Harry Potter book was about 75k WORDS.

TL;DR: I think page length used to be a good metaphor for judging how complicated something is, but as technology and document creation strategies have changed, it's becoming not as relevant.

EDIT: now that I'm stacking reams of Amazon Basics paper in front of me, I'd say that stack is about 1500 pages. I hope you bought your paper in bulk :)

u/starssand · 1 pointr/sticker

No problem! You can definitely self-print with sticker paper and cutting them out yourself with some scissors. Or you can draw on sticker labels that are pre-cut into rectangles already. With packing tape, you can make clear stickers, too! Here's a tutorial. Hope all goes well with your sticker adventure!

u/0hdeargodno · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Being a teacher in a district that gives 0 help for supplies (Title I), please please send me paper! Pretty please?

u/Crecker · 1 pointr/fountainpens

By far the best bang for my buck that I've ever purchased has been my Hammermill 24lb Multipurpose Paper. I bought it when it was further on sale, for ~$21, but the current $27-28 is still insanely cheap. You get 2500 sheets of just thick enough paper. Without too much effort, you can then print some lines or dots onto it and have some lovely looseleaf. For context, okay-quality 20lb Five-Star paper is usually ~$3.50 for 100 sheets, or just about 3.5 cents per sheet. Assuming you'd pay ~$30 for enough ink to line every one of these pages and $30 for the paper itself, you'd still be saving money with better paper and customizable printing patterns. I mostly use mine for math class, where I prefer a blank canvas, and for other light notetaking or scrap paper.

This paper is so cheap and so worth the money. I've never had any issues with feathering, bleeding or any other common issues. 10/10.

u/MaximsDecimsMeridius · 1 pointr/Calligraphy

what printer paper to print pointed pen practice sheets on?

im currently looking at HP Paper, Premium Choice Laserjet Paper Poly Wrap, 32lb or georgia pacific spectrum premium

u/Nibs_dot_Ink · 1 pointr/fountainpens

Sure. Do you have a specific paper in mind?

The only "regular" paper I have is some GP Spectrum paper. It performs decently, but does feather.

I was just planning on doing the good ol' test of:

  • Regular Paper
  • CF Paper
  • Tomoe River Paper

    Which should give you a pretty good idea as to the spectrum of use. But if you have a notebook or journal that uses a specific paper, let me know and I'll see if I have one in storage.
u/AnastasiaBeaverhosen · 1 pointr/pics

You are dramatically overpaying for paper. Even if you dont buy in bulk, you can get 1500 sheets for 15 dollars, thats 1 cent a sheet and they give you free shipping. If you bought in bulk and bought from an office supply store, you could probably cut that in half, maybe even less

32# printer paper from Amazon: $10 for 500 sheets, print dots on it using http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/squaredots/


You get a really nice writing experience at an unbeatable price. My only problem with it is that the paper is thick enough to fill up binders faster than I'd like, so I make notepads of the stuff that I can fill up and scan onto my computer.

u/nneriah · 1 pointr/Calligraphy

In case you live in Europe, this is really good practice paper. Cheap, doesn't bleed, and you can easily see guidelines trough with only a ceiling light. It isn't as smooth as rhodia but it is still considered smooth paper and I do prefer a bit of texture. I use this paper when having fun and don't want guidelines to be seen on final piece :)

u/journalstencils · 1 pointr/midori

I made my first insert the other day. It wasn't perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the result.

I used 320g Kraftpaper as the cover with 60g/m^2 Clairefontaine copy paper. I'm not super happy with the bright white paper, but using a fineliner, I don't have much ghosting or bleeding, so at least I have that going for me.

I ordered it on amazon here and here. Those are German links, so they probably don't help a ton, but at least you can see the specifics on the products.

Here is an album of my results. I made my own bujo template and if you're interested I can send you the PDF to print it. I just used A4 paper and trimmed it after folding.

u/cramduck · 1 pointr/DnD

isometric paper is also hexagon paper, though you may want to outline it to make the hexes more clear: https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-1242-5-Isometric-100-Sheet-inches/dp/B000HF6ZE8

u/kainel · 1 pointr/notebooks

Er.... I layout all my custom notebooks like that in indesign. I make a ton of master pages then drag them as needed for that particular notebook.

I make half letter notebook because I don't have a paper cutter and US letter is readily available, but thats the program you would do it in.

  • could even design it for you /bind if you were in the GTA, Ontario, Canada. This is the only A4 paper I saw on Amazon for printers.
u/KappaAlphaOmega · 0 pointsr/theydidthemath

If you buy this printing paper package from Amazon you'll get 1500 papers.

1,290,190,443 websites/1500 papers per package=860127 packages

So you'd need 860127 packages of paper for every website.

One package costs 14.99$
860127*14.99$=12893288.74$

To print one page of every website you'll need 12893288.74$.
You'll better find a good Black Friday deal
