The cost of the paper is fairly cheap. It looks good when I finish printing. The color of the paper has a very professional and finished look about it. I have been using the paper to print several small books on history about the family and genealogy for the various member of my family. When I make a mistake I save the page and use it as scrap paper for making notes on future subjects I am hoping to undertake in the near future. One area I was really surprised was the quality of the pictures in the books.
