I am currently using 135gms A4 white cartridge paper in my Perkins. This is availalbe from RNIB, the produce code is BP57.

I find the Perkins size paper not that very useful as I use a lot of notes for my job, ad i like to keep them in the correct folders with printed material, but Perkins paper is much wider than A4 so would stick out too fare and get damaged. I do not want to use Perkins size folders as they will not fit on the shelves correctly at work.

Hi, ]
I use the standard braille paper, it's available from RNIB. The perkins sized braille paper. But a thick one, so the braille lasts for a long time. And so far using it was the right thing.
Hope this helps.
Hubert.
