As a preschool teacher and a person who teaches other preschool teachers in workshops and trainings I often have to purchase my own paper so I usually stock up on Name Brand sales but after buying a ream of this paper in a hurrry I found out that it's comparable to the name brands I've been buying. Only difference is I've not found this paper to jam like the name brands and I like the weight. The only thing I would change is if the paper were the same weight as laserjet paper. Other than that I like this paper.
This paper is thinner than most copy paper but it not so thin you wouldn't want to use it. Considering it is cheaper than most other brands it is worth it especially if you have a coupon (which Staples is always sending out).
