Hi Lee,
I'd be very surprised if the duplexer for the 5200 involved any
substantial
engineering changes from the 5100 duplexer. In any case, it's
rated for a
max paper weight of 120 g/sq.m., which is equivalent to 32 lb. bond
or 80
lb. offset, so I suspect the 100 lb. offset paper (148 g/sq.m.)
might be
problematic.
Thanks for the info. I forget what the Ricoh duplexer is rated for --
something similar, IIRC.
I assume when you wrote "67 lb. bond" above, you meant 67 lb.
index, which
is equivalent to 32 lb. bond (120 g/sq.m).
No -- although you're right that I didn't mean 67 lb. bond. I'm
talking about letter-size Hammermill Cover Stock, which is advertised
as "67 lb.", but checking the packaging, I see it's 148 g/m2. This is
close to 40 lb. bond and just a bit thicker than the 9x12 100# offset
paper I use for parts.
FWIW, I've been using 28 lb. bond (105 g/sq.m.) for a number of
years and
find it very satisfactory -- no show-through, suitable heft, readily
available, and easy for printers to handle.
I used to use something close to that (80# offset) for parts, but my
parts get used a lot and go through a *lot* of wear and tear, so I
decided I wanted something more durable. Also, the 100# paper stands
up better on a wire stand. A lot of NYC copyists use 100# paper --
but most still do single-side accordion-fold, so they have no need
duplex that size.
Cheers,
- Darcy
