It's paper - it works

The color is good for our holiday letter and a lot less expensive (with more room for text) than the decorative specialty papers (which also don't reflect our particular taste). It doesn't jam in the printer and in short it's paper - it does what it was purchased to do - carry the message.
We ordered this pastel yellow paper to print our bar restaurant menus on. We change our menu regularly and found that this paper is affordable. The light pastel yellow is attractive to the eye and looks great. We have red trimmed menu holders -- and our yellow and red logo work perfectly. This paper doesn't seem to have any jamming issues. The ink works well on it. We very much like that with staples.com if we are running low a quick online order and one to two days and we have the paper we need for our project.
We used this paper to cut out letters for a Holiday window display for Girl Scouts. The paper was durable enough for decorating and hanging on a string.
I am terribly disappointed that Staples does not celebrate Christmas as over 90% of their customers do! I ordered Christmas Cards online and I have to go all the way to page 5 or 6 before I found a card that even had the word "Christmas" on it! I understand the whole "PC" thing but come on...they are called "Christmas" Cards! Then when I picked them up I found that everything in the store said "holiday" or nothing. Not one reference to Christmas not even a tree or Santa reference! I am not looking for a manger scene just an acknowledgement that I am in the store to buy Christmas gifts and Christmas cards.
