A duplex A3 printer (or similar) is really your best friend. (And a good cutter and stapler, works up to 60pages for me) ... > Which leaves, Problem #3: > > (3) PAPER? What do you do for paper?

I use ordinary copypaper (80g/m2), but if you foldstaple them you might need to reinforce the "middle" paper at the staple. I would like thinner paper thought (Choral scores). For cover I use thick stock. Mine is 225g/m2.
