Staples brand copy paper is as good as the equivalent paper sold by big name manufacturers which normally cost a couple dollars more per ream. I have been using Staples copy and print paper for years. I have tried other brands on occasion but the only difference was price. I use this paper to make legal documents every day. Signatures do not smear or bleed which is very important on any legal document that is to be recorded. Although I am not a thrifty buyer I can see no reason for spending more money from a big name manufacturer that does not out-perform Staples copy and print paper.
This paper was perfect quality brightness for at-home and church use. Easily fed through printer and was durable enough for my needs. I would recommend this paper to others using it for similar purposes with no hesitation. Price was a little higher than expected and was only one of two brands available at Staples -- so would like to recommend more choices based on whether it is need for home or professional use -- I found it to be a perfect match for personal at-home use and felt I made the best of the two choices offered at the time I purchased this ream of legal paper. Would purchase this product again!
