Great Cheap Paper

This is a wonderful product. It is very inexpensive but well worth it. I have bought expensive copy paper in the past and I don't see any difference with the Staples paper. I would recommend this product to any one. It is sturdy does not jam and does not smear. I use it for all my projects including fliers menus signs etc. This is the only copy paper I use now and my office supply bills are a lot less as I use a lot of copy paper. I buy this product quite a bit an am very happy with this product.
I always wanted a wide format printer for drawing and printing building plans. The reason being local building inspectors will accept 11x17 prints for permitting. While shopping in Staples one day I spotted in the discount bin A wide format HP printer. It was Marked down 65% because it was missing the power cable the box and all paper work. After pleading with the very friendly manager to knock a few more bucks off he did and I bought the printer the ink and the Staples 11x17 wide format paper. When I got Home I plugged it in loaded paper and fired it up. It went through all the setups downloaded updates and I sent my first plan through without a hitch! Five stars for the whole deal!
I selected this particular brand and grade of paper because it was whiter than the usual 88 percent stuff but the price premium was not that high. I don't use all that much paper and expect this single purchase to last for a year or two before I must buy more. In this case I don't necessarily expect the paper to be acid-neutralized and it may or may not start yellowing after several years. However for things that don't have to last for decades and that don't have to retain pure witeness this should work well enough. Can't give it five stars yet; ask again in ten years or so.
I think this paper is a great deal. I use it every day. I like that it does not stick together and it is nice and white. I like that it was by the ream. I used my rewards to purchase it so it was a really great deal. I like deals and this was a real deal. And it works great for my every day printing that I do. Boy is it hard to write 400 characters about a ream of paper but I am surely going to try so that I get my 5 bonus points. I am pretty close but I think I need to get creative. I do creative things on my paper I purchased!!!
