I don't always have to have the best of everything and I don't always have to look for the cheapest things either. I rather get things that are good for a good price and I feel like this copy paper is a great example of good at a good price. As much as we all use copy paper this is a good deal. This prints up nice and the ink doesn't smear or run. My kids have used this paper for many school projects and papers and it always looks very nice. In color copies or in black and white it always turns out real real nice. :)
