A Ream of paper is generally a quantity of sheets of the same size and quality. It used to be 480 sheets,
A printer's ream was 516 sheets, perhaps to allow for wastage (bit like a bakers dozen being 13).
As part of international standardization, this quantity was changed to 500 sheets. The old value of 480 sheets is now known as a short ream.

Nice answer...yes printers Reams were 516 to allow for waste...although i dont waste that much setting my machine up.
Now a days a ream is/should be 500 sheets about 2 inches in height..but that depends on the weight of the paper
Most computer paper is between 80 and 100 grams...if im remembering correctly its weighed in Square meters.
We are not talking about computer printers here...were on about hidelberg printing presses...well i am anyway
This is the machine i work on.

500 is what they advertise. I would always count them to make sure.
