The paper weight isn't very heavy but I'm fine with that. You can't beat the price! I normally spend a lot more on 11x17 paper.

Great for general work when you need a larger sheet of paper

I only have a desktop printer so I would seldom use 11x17 paper in it but I sometimes need larger sheets of paper for design work mind-mapping and other graphic projects where I'm doing more "old school" tactile and less digital work. This paper is good quality although at 20lbs it comes in with a lighter (slightly flimsier) feeling than a 20lb ream of 8.5x11 paper. I'd prefer if it was 24lb. It has some tooth so okay for graphite type work but possibly another reason to avoid certain printers as it may abrade heads. Also be sure you have a place to store a ream of 11x17 because it takes up extra space on a shelf or in a drawer. Finally yes I would recommend buying this paper.

Reliable Product
on January 16, 2014

This is a really good product in an apparently flimsy wrapper. First the good: Every single time I've ever had this paper jam in the machine there's been something wrong with the machine. I've never had this paper just jam up for no reason. That's very good. The paper in the ream is very consistent. Many times when you buy paper on sale or at a bargain price there are 3-4 different kinds of paper in the ream. Almost like the manufacturer is using all the leftovers in the bargain reams. This paper is always the same. And that's very good. Now the not-so-good: I buy this paper by the case. Most of the time when I pull the reams out of the case the wrappers on the individual reams are torn someplace. Usually not large tears that would make the wrapper useless for storage but tears nevertheless. It's annoying enough that it cost you a star but not annoying enough to make me buy another brand of paper. I have noticed that the individual reams on sale in the store don't ever seem to be torn. I don't know whether there's something in the process of packing the reams into the case or whether they're deliberately putting reams with torn wrappers into the cases but either way it might be a good idea to check out why so many reams in the case have tears in the wrappers. And by the way this doesn't seem to happen on letter or legal size paper just ledger size.

it does its job

I needed 11x17 paper and this was the only type I found in store. it got its job done but it's still just copy paper. it has a mat finish to it and the weight is very light so I don't really feel confident submitting work on it but it's good to see how the contrast of colors in print work on the large format printer and correct size is better than wrong size on nice paper.

I was sceptical but this copy paper works well even with high volume printing.
