Hey! Is there a technical reason why printer paper trays don't hold a full 500 sheet ream? It's bugged me forever that I have to have an open pack sitting around.
Thanks!
Some printers have large-capacity trays that take a full ream [1] or even more; I have one. They're usually optional for workgroup-type printers; I've seen them as standard equipment on the really big ones. One I saw held 1,500 sheets in a single tray, and it had multiple trays that size.
You'll never see them on a consumer or single-user printer. *Those* trays just seem to get smaller over time.
1. Don't get me started on companies selling 400-sheet "reams".
