Later, when bookmaking switched to using paper and it became possible to easily stitch 5 to 7 sheets at a time, the association of ""quaire"" with ""four"" was quickly lost.

Certain types of specialist papers such as tissue paper, greaseproof paper, handmade paper, and blotting paper are still sold (especially in the UK) in 'short' reams of 480 sheets (20 quires of 24 sheets).

A mid-19th century Milanese-Italian dictionary has an example for a ""risma"" (ream) as being either 450 or 480 sheets.

The printer William Caslon in a book published in 1770 mentions both 24- and 25-sheet quires; he also details printer's wastage, and the sorting and recycling of damaged ""cassie"" quires. An 1826 French manual on typography complained that cording quires (usually containing some salvageable paper) from the Netherlands barely contained a single good sheet.

Most commercial paper sold in North America is cut to standard paper sizes based on customary units and is defined by the length and width of a sheet of paper. The ISO 216 system used in most other countries is based on the surface area of a sheet of paper, not on a sheet's width and length.

The Folio was typeset and bound in ""sixes"" – 3 sheets of paper, taken together, were folded into a booklet-like quire or gathering of 6 leaves, 12 pages. Once printed, the ""sixes"" were assembled and bound together to make the book. The sheets were printed in 2-page formes, meaning that pages 1 and 12 of the first quire were printed simultaneously on one side of one sheet of paper (which became the ""outer"" side); then pages 2 and 11 were printed on the other side of the same sheet (the ""inner"" side)."

"collation of the original quires is difficult to determine due to the loss of some leaves. In the course of combining bifolios into quires, the medieval bookmakers needed a system by which they could keep the various quires in their proper order. Catchwords eventually became the standard tool for this purpose. The Morgan Beatus, however, does not utilize this technique. Instead, this manuscript makes use of signatures consisting of Roman numerals followed by the letter ""Q"" There are two miniature bearing folios signed in this fashion. Intact quires consist of eight leaves (four bifolios). Most signatures are in the corner"

The earliest known European printed book is a quarto, the ""Sibyllenbuch"", believed to have been printed by Gutenberg in 1452–53, before the ""Gutenberg Bible"", surviving only as a fragment.

The popular .30-30 Winchester is a .30 calibre bullet originally loaded with 30 grains of smokeless gunpowder.
