I often wait for this paper to go on special and then I stock up. I use this paper in a black-and-white laser printer so I cannot comment upon its color retention. However it seems to work well in my printer with few errors or jams. The paper is a good weight and brightness. I'd recommend this paper for any general purpose (for office or school) since it holds up well during these kinds of applications. I like the versatility of this paper and I'll definitely purchase again in the future.
