PIXMA MX922 lightweight archival paper recommendations

Hi,

I have over 900 .jpg files scanned from WWII documents and letters. Can anyone recommend a good light weight archival paper for printing double sided and ink won't bleed.

Thanks,

Peaches

How light do you want? Many ordinary 20 lb. copier/laser papers are archival, because they are alkaline rather than acid-based. And can be printed on both sides if ink coverage is light.

I'm leaning towards bible paper, but not quite that thin. I don't want to books to be heavy. Thanks for your input.

I don't know that any paper that thin would work in an inkjet printer, for feeding/transport or avoidance of bleed-through.
