Hi Kirsten!
Short answer: “10 lb paper” is extremely thin and not commonly sold anymore under that name, which is why you couldn’t find it.

Hi Lizzy,
I was wondering what kind of printer do you use?
Not necessarily the brand, just the (ink?) type.
I'm old, & I bought my last printer in '07; I don't know what's good anymore 😄
