Keji 80 gsm A4 Copy Paper
7 reviews
This paper is "OK" for the price if all you need it for is back office, draft or kids use. Otherwise avoid – This paper is slightly transparent and and has a cheap/nasty feel to it. However, for my purposes it is fine as it is the cheapest paper office works sells and I mainly use if for printing draft stuff as I find it difficult to read off screens. It's saving grace is that it doesn't cause paper jams in my printer. If you are after cheap paper for… Read more
drafting, general back end office work or little kids art. This paper is Ok - otherwise try something else. I would not use it for clients, letters to friends or anything important!
Good points -------------- - Cheapest paper in Officeworks - Despite it being a bit transparent to the naked eye, it seems to scans well and on my scanner does not suffer from bleed through issues. (This may not be the case on all scanners!) - I have found that it works well with my printer/scanner (Epson WF-7520) where some of the other (more expensive) Officeworks paper does not. So far printing I have had 0 printing paper jams in 10,000s of printed pages with this paper over the last 5 or so years. For reference the J.Burrows paper had me opening up the back of the printer at least once or twice a month. Note: This is my experience, I am aware that other people have had significant jam issues with this paper! - This paper is also fine for the kids being one of the less expensive ways for them to produce 'lovely' art.
Issues ------- - Looks and feels cheap. - Now 70gsm rather than 80gsm. Though I didn't notice much difference when change happened. - Semi transparent to the naked eye in office light levels. Page below or printed on back is visible. See Picture (receipts photocopied on other side visible are visible through page and text was printed using draft mode on printer).
Interesting Notes * ------------------- - Keji is an Officeworks trademark (like J.Burrows). The Keji trademark was registered by Officeworks in Jan 2009 - It is currently made in China (according to box) - Keji paper was made initially manufactured by the ironically named Paper Australia Pty Ltd which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nippon Paper Industries Co Ltd., a Japan-based paper manufacturing company. (I could not determine current manufacturer)
* Research was done quickly and I did not fact check sources.
Use a box of this paper a month – We supply and repair printers and copiers. I have been using this paper for a couple of years now and have never experienced any jamming issues. We use this paper to test machines before and after repairs. Maybe not the whitest of papers but for the price what would you expect.
Repeated Paper Jams – Bought this from Office Works as it was a little cheaper than the usual Reflex paper I use but a waste of money. At first I thought the issue was with the printer so I changed printer but the paper kept jamming. I then replaced the paper with some Reflex copy paper and presto - no more issues. Never thought copy paper could be so different.
good economical copy paper – we have been using Keji for past 6 months in our Business with eight various printers and not had any issues with paper jams etc. good price for a daily use paper, we are about to re-order another pallet load!
Don't use if for printing – I thought it was just me although all this paper does is call paper jams in my printer. So frustrating trying to print out professional documents - when it does print you usually get about 5 pages at once!
Keji 80gsm A4 Copy Paper – Terrible. My printer wouldn't recognise the paper, and then proceeded to take about 20 pages at once. Paper jammed and now I need to buy a new printer. As above, can't use for printing, will be passing this paper on to the kids as scrap.
Who would have thought copy paper could be so different – I guess this paper is ok as long as you do not intend to use it for printing. I usually use the copy paper which costs a few bucks more, but thought I'd give this a go. BIG MISTAKE! I never used to get paper jam and now I get a paper jam every 1-2 pages. Imagine trying to print a 20 page document, not to mention the amount of paper you need to… Read more
throw away because you have to pull it out from inside your printer. My advise is to pay a few bucks more and save yourself a lot of trouble. I'm throwing this away and replacing it for a better quality paper.
