Flat paper thin & can write on it

Don't misread the product description.... it's not a Dream case - it's a 5 ream case. Once you move beyond that here's what you're going to find in this amazing package: Not one but 5 - count them FIVE separately packaged packs of paper. As advertised they're white. I didn't verify with calipers but just eyeballing and later measuring with a standard issue desk ruler (also probably available on Staples.com) I found it to be within the acceptable size range as advertised. If you're looking for 11 x 8.5 inch paper you'll have to turn these sideways because they're 8.5 x 11. A minor inconvenience but once I got past that they fit in my printer just fine. The individual pieces were all uniformly paper-thin. While I like a good surprise plank of half inch thick paper occasionally I found none in any of the reams I opened during this purchase. Disappointing from a surprise standpoint but for business printing I suppose that's a good thing. The pages all started out blank but once I printed something on there words appeared. It was sort of like magic but much more mundane. Other uses? Endless my friends. Paper airplanes? Check. Little triangular football for a flick-football game with a co-worker? Double check. Car wash mitt? Not so much. If you're looking for thin flat white paper that you can you know... print on look no further. I don't think you'll be disappointed. But if you are complain to Staples not me. It's their product.
This copy paper is comparable to much higher priced paper. I have had no problem with it jamming my printer and the color and black inks show up well on it.
Staples is where I like to go for all my office supplies including just basics like 8x11 size paper and also legal size paper. I can count on good quality and service there.
