Too costly

The paper is fine to work with. I just feel the cost is too high for the quality. I also forgot to bring my coupon. So the cost is my fault. I feel that if you can send out a coupon for 50% off. Then the regular everyday price could be lowered. But again I forgot my coupon so I will take the blame for this one.
We have a very fussy copier and the only copy paper that runs efficiently is the Staples red box copy paper. I am very pleased with the quality of this paper and am most happy with the value. The copier does not jam now and the copies are clear and ready for presentation even at Board meetings. Staples offers buy two cartons get one free and I try to take advantage of this promotion as often as I can. No other office supply store makes purchasing and quality so Easy! Thank you Staples! I will be back to shop again.
I buy my copy paper from Staples most of the time. The quality is very good and I have never had a problem with the paper. Such as jamming in my printer smearing of the ink etc. Very often I have a coupon for a discounted price or sometimes I can get the paper for free with the Easy Rebate sale. Staples has very good products and I have never had a problem with any of them. Their return policy is easy and every item comes with a money back policy. If they do not have the item in the store that you want to purchase they will order it and call you when the item is ready for pick up. I shop there often and would encourage you to also.
My home paper consumption is high due to projects and volunteer work. I've used the Staples brand ever since I first walked into a Staples store and have found it to be just as good as some much higher priced brands.
I print loan closings usually mixed size (letter and legal) in same print run. The problem I have with this paper is excessive curling far more than any other brand I've used. I print in two locations one air-conditioned and one not and the curling problem is a lot worse without air-conditioning. I have to stand by the printing and periodically unload the output or the curling will cause the papers to catch and dump on the floor. Also this is 92 bright so a slight but noticeable difference from the usual 96 bright. Very noticeable in my mixed paper printing runs. I'll switch over to Staples Multipurpose (sku 562789) slightly more expensive but 96 bright and no curling problems. On the positive side I haven't have any jamming problems or wrinkled pages in the two + cases I've used.
This multi purpose paper for my general use is very bright and the copies come out very clear. I would recommend this product and will buy by the case next time.
