As far as I can tell this is the same great multipurpose paper as the Staples brand -- it even came in a box with the Staples name and logo. We've been using this paper in our two HP laser printers and our HP inkjet printers for years now and it's always been just fine. We finally used up the last of the supply we bought on a super sale some time ago so when we needed more we went to our local Staples store and bought two boxes. The only drawback is that the 10 ream case seems to weigh a lot more than my 74 year old body remembers. Good thing we've got a small hand truck to get it from the car into the basement.
