Twenty four pound paper provides a firmer feel and greater opacity than standard twenty pound bond, which can improve two sided printing and make colored sections feel more substantial. It also creates a thicker stack, so fewer sheets fit within the same comb, coil, wire, or ring capacity. Printer settings may need to be adjusted for the heavier stock, especially when feeding smaller sizes or running duplex jobs. Include covers, tabs, and inserts when estimating the finished thickness. A short print and binding test should confirm feeding, toner or ink adhesion, show through, sheet turning, and spine fit. Do not rely only on a general sheet count because paper weight changes the space occupied by the complete document.
