We go through a lot of paper. My wife is an adjunct psychology professor and I'm an engineer constantly printing reports proposals presentations and reference material. We easily go through a ream or 2 a week on our home Dell 3115 laser printer. I've tried all brands of paper. The Staples multi-use brand in the blue wrapper is by far the best value out there. It's usually on sale we get great results and I very seldom have a paper jam - maybe once a year. I've had jamming problems with other brands including the famous national brands.
I use this paper with two different inkjet printers from different manufacturers and have had no problems with ink bleeding or paper jams. The 20 lb weight paper and its brightness is appropriate for the vast majority of office tasks from finished work to fast drafts. And the price is right.
Ive purchased both high end big name copy paper and the low end copy paper. Recycled Im not too keen on. But the staples multipurpose paper to me has the same quality as the high end named brand copy paper. The print quality has no flaws or streaks and fast drying with absolutely no smudges. The weight of the paper is the same as the high end paper weight. Therefor there are no jams in the printing action of the copy machine. I highly recommend buying this over the high end unless of course there is a sale because it is all the same quality it is a no brainer
Paper functions as it should. The quality is equal to that of brand names. In fact it sometimes works better in my printer and copy than brand name paper. It does not stick together as do other brands. Once it is "fanned" it feeds through one sheet at a time rather than skipping sheets.
This is very good paper. It has a nice white color accepts both black and color ink and does not jam. The texture is good and does not appear slick like some paper does. I have worked in offices where other brands have been used including brands that were more expensive. This competes with the more expensive brands both in look and performance. I will not pay more for what I feel is the same quality product. This is the paper I will continue to purchase and Staples is great in that they give some great promotions to make this a very sweet deal.
I have found that Staples Multipurpose paper does a fine job meeting the requirements implied in its name. It works well in a variety of home printers. Is is appropriately bright. I have notice no evidence of unexpected or unusual color change (that is browning) as can be the situation with some other inexpensive papers. I have also bought and used a wide variety of similare "name brand" papers. I can not tell any difference between them and the Staples brand. And if you watch the advertisements you can buy this paper after rebates for a VERY low price.
