Need to do some printing on my HP. Does anyone know what difference is between 80 lb paper and 9.2 mill paper.

While I don't have a direct answer to your question, "Paper weight is often expressed as the number of pounds for 500 sheets (one ream) of paper in its basis size"...thus, your 80 lb paper refers to one ream that weighs 80 lbs.

Check out SPECIFYING PAPER WEIGHT IS CONFUSING FOR MOST PURPOSES (http://www.papershops.com/papershops/materials/commonpapersizes.htm)

Hope this helps you out...

You might also want to read up on what HP says about Paper Weight and Thickness (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpp02943&locale=en_US) Basically, it says
there is actually no consistency between the media weight and the media thickness.

BTW, which HP model are we talking about?
