This paper is better than most brands in its price range yet the quality of individual sheets is inconsistent. I use this paper for professional reports but find that about one in ten sheets needs to be rejected because of very noticeable imperfections. These flaws include wood inclusions stain marks and black dots that are consequences of recycling. Hopefully the production process can be improved to better filter out these impurities and to scan individual sheets for inclusions during quality control monitoring.
