Almost perfect paper

Almost perfect paper. The packaging in plastic film is easy to rip apart and start using the paper we just have to be careful to "cut" the plastic film in between reams so as to not damage the sheets. The only negative item we found is that when you open a ream in most of the reams the top 3 to 5 sheets are wrinkled with the same pattern of the paper wrapper in which the ream was wrapped usually a wavy effect probably caused by the wrapping machine glue at the moment it seals the ream. We have found in almost all reams that particular "defect" and have to throw away those top sheets
This paper goes on sale pretty regularly and it's a great deal. My kids do a lot of printing of things they want to draw or color I print a ton of documents it works as well as anything on our inkjet and laser printer. No problems I've donated some of it to the church we use it in the laser and the copy machine.
I purchase this size for two reasons: 1) It is easy for me to carry and 2) it is the right amount to store in my small business. I don't go through huge amounts of paper so this is a good amount for my purpose--not so much I have to juggle storage but enough to last me so I don't have to make frequent trips to the store.
Many people would perceive "Staples" labeled products as high-quality low-priced and affordable items available on the market. And believe it or not these copy papers are one of the lowest retail prices you will find compare to other brands. But that is where the good news ends. I am not too happy with the thickness of the individual papers. Before choosing the Staples labeled copy papers I have used Boise X-9 Copy Papers and they cost more yet every individual paper is thicker and as bright as the Staples brand copy papers. If you are one of those customers who are after the "lower" retail prices then this item will meet or exceed your expectations.
The staples 8.5 X 11 inch copy paper has been working very well for me and my at home business. I print loan documents from home. This paper works in my printer with no issues. It always has a clear and readable print quality to it. Loan documents always look great. The 5 ream bundles are great also very easy for me to carry and load in my car. And the rebates are always are great bonus to my budget As a small business owner every dollar counts. And anything to make my job easier it always an added bonus. Thank you so much for this product and the rebates. Vanessa
