Beware of cheap printing paper
with Jeff Harper Cartridge World Castle Hill
Cheap paper for you printer is exactly that … cheap !
Leaving aside de-forestation , destruction of animal habitats etc , there are many reasons why cheap paper is not advisable . The three main reasons are abrasiveness , dust and print quality .
Your printer picks up paper from the tray using rollers that are set to exceptionally fine tolerances . Cheap paper is abrasive and will wear out these rollers very quickly , resulting in paper jams and or multiple sheets being picked at the same time . With the cost of labour these days , worn rollers means the printer is not financially repairable .
A printer is a very sophisticated electromechanical device that uses many sensors to perform its duty . If the paper you buy is high in dust content then the printer will eventually suffer . Paper that
is cut with a guillotine ( knife ) vs a saw will have a considerably lower dust content .
The purpose of a printer is to produce images , both in document form and actual images . What is the point of spending hard earned dollars on ink and toner if the paper is poor quality ? Imagine an artist using a poor quality canvas , the result will show . Reputable brands of paper are specifically formulated to work with your printer .
The manufacturers of the paper spend serious dollars and time in producing a quality product . The cheap paper is formulated to be cheap , simple as that .
This is not the place to go into brand names , but all I can say is , think twice before using cheap paper in your printer , you will be paying a much higher price than you realise .

Don ’ t give up on your
Age Pension claim !
with Rebecca Chester Age Pension Help
This month , I wanted to share the story of my most recent clients , Mary and Gordon from Winston Hills . They are both retired at 60yo and 68yo , and went to Centrelink in December 2022 to apply for the Age Pension for Gordon . Since they don ’ t have a computer at home , they were given the paper forms to fill out , 28 pages of Claim form and 20 pages of Income and Assets form . They muddled their way through these and went back a few days later with their completed forms .
When they sat down with the officer at Centrelink , they went through the details of their claim and they were given another form , details of income stream product , and sent away to fill it in .
Mary and Gordon read over the questions in the form many , many times , and they could not understand where to get the information , or who could help them fill it in . So , they gave up .
Fast forward nine months later , they saw my article in the Independent Magazine , and gave me a call . I have been through their details with them , and determined there is no need for the details of income stream product form since the details are available from their Super fund . Within two weeks we have had a meeting , gathered up all their information and supporting documents for their claim , and lodged it with Centrelink .
This is a common story from people I talk to every week , the process is complicated , and Centrelink do not have the support in place to assist people . If you are looking for assistance with your Age Pension claim , or you aren ’ t sure whether you ’ re eligible , please give me a call .
I am passionate that you should be able to get the benefits you are entitled to with a minimum of fuss .
Let me help ! Call 1300 222 484 .
