    Anyone know where I can pick up some a4 glossy flyer like paper?

    I want to print up some flyers from my printer and save some money :)

    All I can find is the thick card like (180gsm) on the net and I tried going into the printers but they wouldn't sell my any but I guess you can't blame them.

    Thanks

    theres no point using the same paper as someone with a printing press, it won't absorb your ink. You can try www.svp.co.uk for some paper, I find it good for proofs, if you're doing any sort of quantity though you won't save money, a digital printers could probably do prints for around 75c per a4 page. 180gsm isnt that think, if its a standard glossy flyer go for something around 120/140

    heggie I will be using a non-commercial laser printer instead of inkjet so would that be alright for this type of glossy paper?

    Laser Printer wont accept the same 'gloss' paper as a heat set press. Be careful. Anyway - by the time you buy such a short run of paper - you would be better going to a commercial printer
