Which Paper Should I Use

Hi very new to this, I've started out printing off some 1/100 tank models. Using normal 80gr A4 I'm finding it a bit flimsy, would I be better off using a heavier weight? The printer is a HP5520 which can print heavier paper. Any input will be greatfuly recived

I mainly use 160 gsm card.

Normal paper can still be useful for rolling tank barrels though

120 gsm paper works for some smaller models.

Thanks for the info, I'll probably try the 120g for the 1/100. There are some on Wargaming that I want to try when I think I'm ready. They've 1/50 and very complicated, and in Russian
