Wish #6030 - optional paper weights in Invoice paper

Wish #6030 - have optional paper weights for Invoice paper.   At present our Sku # CQ EXO101CE  is for 24# paper ( data courtesy of Ed Shields in Shared Services Ext# 5166 in Raleigh ) - your part # may vary - but you are still getting  24#paper --whereas normal standard photocopy paper is 20# and the old J-Con invoice was 15#.

Issues- 24# paper costs more !!

Issues- 24# weights more -(gee imagine that) ---so in Canada if we include the statement (gee - lets look at that weight of paper as well) and just 4 invoice copies --we are over the 32 gram weight and the postage kick up to $1.00 from the standard 57 cents ... using the older paper in J-Con we could get 6 to 8 copies before the weight kicked the price up ..;. and with the new electronic postage meters - you have NO choice for postage - the machine sets it automatically ....  so lets do the math -  50 customers require extra postage of 1.00-.57 = .43 cents - every month for a year --that is and extra $258 in expenses we have to cover due to the weight of the paper.


Now - there is a down side - there is always a down side- Ed Shields correctly states that some places will have a HI paper jam rate - and the thicker paper may be requited - I don;t fault that -- BUT -- give us that  choice ...  have two sku's - for pre-printed invoices.

Please -- also give us the less cost for 20# paper - as the raw product costs less.

CHOICES and CONSEQUENCES -- even the smallest decisions have issues... :-)

PLEASE  allow us to choose what paper weight we need .....
