Where to buy A4 card stock in USA
As the title says, where to buy A4 card stock in the USA? I would rather not import it. I Googled it and came up with a lot of unsatisfying results. Where do you get it? Or do you just print A4 models on US Legal size paper (8.5" X 14")? I have some Legal card stock but the quality is not as good as the Wausau (now Neenah) card stock I usually use.

I too have tried to find A4 cardstock in the US and ended up, like Rick, buying legal size cardstock on line. It's a means to an end, but there are several venders and you can pretty much find what you need. You waste a little paper on each sheet, but not much.

the wrapping paper might be ripped in places, and a couple of sheets might be dog-eared, but the rest of the ream is perfect
I have also bought my 11x17 paper this way, 2 damaged packs for much less than a perfect ream

I use the 12" x 12" you can find at Hobby Lobby and Micheal's then trim it to fit my printer.

I buy 67 pound 11 x 17 inch card stock at Staples. It seems to work well. I don't know how it stacks up in price to other brands. Staples is the brand I use for all my card stock (the store is only a mile away from my house).

A4 is a standard in Australia, I by bright white and a cheaper stock for fillers etc.

So far, all the card stock I purchased in the USA including Staples is mediocre at best.
Regardless of the proper size, the quality of the paper is very important to me. To date, I still am using my stash from Japan, but it is running out. I wish can get it in the USA. Isaac
