I and my family use Staples Multipurpose Paper (8-1/2 x 11) for many things. In the office I use it in the All In One Printer for copying and printing. It is also used for incoming faxes. In the Arts and Crafts Room my children use it for drawing craft projects Christmas decorations scratch paper posters and basically any project in which they need quality paper. This paper is even good for tracing; although it is more durable than tracing paper it can still be used for this purpose. My children use this paper in many very creative ways. We love it.
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.
