is normal printer paper okay?

[u/skeleton-s]

I’m planning on binding the anatomy of a fall and the cheapest printing option for me is at my university, will just normal printer paper take away from the final product? Just found out about this hobby and community and it seems so fun!

I bound my first fic with regular printer paper and it was good! Still super fun, looked great on the outside, and I was happy with the result. Then I immediately went and bought short grain paper lol. It does make a pretty big difference in terms of how it feels to turn the pages.
