This paper does fine as far as print quality and absorbing ink fast enough to avoid smudging when I immediately take it off the printer. My printer often grabs extra sheets of this paper. I typically get an extra sheet about every 10 sheets printed. I am in the mortgage business and print 120+ sheets at a time multiple times a day.
I miss the ease of opening the old packaging that was made of plastic. I used to buy this paper because of the packaging. Now it does not matter what brand I buy.
This paper is quality paper at a reasonable price. The value gets even better when it is on sale and/or has a rebate attached. It is useful for a wide range of uses like large quantity copying single pages color copies and even paper airplanes. The only comment I would have is that the cartons need to have some sort of hand hold or handles to make it easier to pick such a heavy carton. At the Staples store where I usually shop the staff is very helpful and will load the carton in my car for me when I request that.
