HP Everyday Copy & Print Paper A4 500 Sheets 75gsm
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 75 GSM is the Indian office default and it is the reason double-sided printing looks cheap -- text shows through from the reverse. 80 GSM is where that stops, and the difference is a few rupees a ream. The other thing worth knowing here is humidity: paper absorbs moisture and curls, so in monsoon a ream left open jams a printer that would otherwise be fine.
Who should buy this
Anyone printing single-sided in volume where cost per sheet matters.
Who should avoid this
Anyone printing double-sided documents that need to look professional -- use 80 GSM.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
Low-lint and cleanly cut, which is what prevents jams. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 96 CIE brightness gives good apparent contrast. Been using it now for about a month.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Low-lint and cleanly cut, which is what prevents jams. The one thing to know before ordering: 75 GSM shows through on double-sided printing. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone printing double-sided documents that need to look professional — use 80 GSM. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
