This is high quality paper and it is priced to be used in everyday applications. I print out almost everything in my e-mail so I use a lot of paper. I jumped at the opportunity to buy the Staples branded paper because they are consistently of high quality at a value price. I bought ten reams because that is the most economical and easiest to store amount for my needs. I keep my eyes open for any opportunity like this in the Staples ads both on line and in the newspapers. It is a great money saver.
