I know this is almost 10 years old, but since I am searching for the best heavyweight cardstock to print out digital paper packs, I would like to answer your question.
Here are some advantages of printing digital scrapbook paper:
-cheaper
-once you purchase (or design your own), you print the patterns as many times as you want
-print and scale in many different sizes (12x12, 6x6, etc.)
-print one design on one side and a different design on another - especially if you are making 3D projects like bags and boxes
With the scrapbook paper purchased from a store, you are limited to the number of designs included in each pack. A LOT of people have had that one favorite paper pack where you immediately use the best looking designs, only to have to go out and purchase the same pack, only to waste money and paper. This was the main reason I stopped purchasing paper packs from stores and decided to buy and print them myself. Plus, there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of paper packs out there to choose from. The stores do not offer that much variety.
So again, I know this is almost 10 years old, but hope it helps.
