Great Deal-Sweet Rebate....
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
I was just running out of paper when I got this email about this great offer on the paper. Since I have a little internet business and do print things out on a regular basis this deal works for me. I got the rebate card within a short time too and turned around and bought a new office chair with it!
It might seem sillly to writte a review about paper. I mean paper is just...paper right? Well actually not. You have to pay attention to the numbers on the package to tell papers apart. This kind of paper is great for everything I use it for; a good balance of pound weight and the brightness. Among paper makers the pound weight refers to the weight of 500 mill-size sheets of that paper. Mill sheets are larger - they're the way the paper comes off the paper machine. Those mill sheets are cut down to usable size and wrapped in stacks of 500 so they can be sold. Generally the higher the pound weight the stiffer and more opaque the paper is. The other number is the brightness: the higher the number the brighter it is. Unfortunately sometimes manufacturers make the paper more blue so it seems more bright..but it ends up being really an odd color...so watch out for that. I even more love that Staples has so many ad specials on this paper that I virtually never have to buy white 8 1/2 x 11 paper for full price!
Staples paper is continuously used in my printer and office needs. The paper does not clog the printer and is consistently easy to use and fill into the printer. Staples offers many ways to purchase and earn points for paper supplies and ink levels. If they opt this year to have a paper and ink special purpose card they would definitely increase their business. In addition there are other paper types which we utilize in our business for marketing purposes. Again these papers work great with inkjet printers.
