HERBERT C. A : Yes it is Herbert - will this paper fit in a front loading 545 epson printer. If it is too thick, I would like to get a 100 sheet box. Please.?TIM C : I fit about 40 sheets at a time into my Epson printers. I do not ever load more as my printers are top loading and it does not allow more than that. I buy the 250 sheet box b/c I use a lot of photo paper and it's cheaper to buy 250 sheets at a time.CAROL I : Sorry Herbert, we use a 3880, and we are unfamiliar with the 545. Good Luck! CarolHERBERT C. A : Thanks Bruce. How thick is it - will it work in a front loading 545 epson printer.BRUCE H : Smooth Pearl is outstanding paper and works well in most ink jet photo printers.
