I would have given it 3 or 4 stars but just this past week on 9-10-14 I ran 2 cartons of this paper like I have done the last 4 times. This time after running one side and stacked the paper up on the table with some weight on top to keep the paper flat like I usually do but it still got a wave through it and when I started to run the paper back through each page wrinkled. I even took the paper to Staples to see if they could run it through their machine with out wrinkling but it did wrinkle in their machine as well. I still do not understand why it happened but I had to redo the whole printing job.
I like to buy Staples Multipurpose Paper for many reasons. We use quite a bit of paper at my store so I look for the best value for my money. This particular box of papers by the ream gives my a good value. It is also convenient because sometimes customers want to buy a whole ream themselves so I can sell it that way. I just mark it up a little bit to make it worth my while. I charge 6 cents a copy which is not enough to make a profit. My copy machine is not that great I really just offer it as a convenience to my customers and also for my own use. Thanks for your paper prices when it is on sale.
We purchased this paper a week ago. It is average in quality and for the price. I have used paper from other stores that was better in quality and for the price. This is something that I would use for scratch paper but not for schooling or for letters. Several of the sheets are stuck together which means I am not getting the full benefit of the sheets that are in the ream which is also a waste. I am not sure if the paper was previously stored with moisture or not and there is no way to check that before purchasing.
