I really do like the paper when it comes as 5 reams because I can lift it up myself without a sales rep. However I usually buy the 10 reams in a box which is nice because I have a storage box when I have used up the paper. The only problem is in the consistency of the paper. I have found that it is not always the same 96 brightness and also sometimes it has been a little shiny. You should be able to always buy this paper on sale. If you go to Staples coupons there are usually additional coupons when the paper is on sale.
I especially like the staples 8.5 x 11 Multipurpose paper .Because it is light weight doesn't jam the printer. If it did it is easy to retrieve from printer. Also especially like the cost of the multipurpose paper on sale helps a great deal.Overall there is no differences in other multipurpose paper they all work and the same basically. I just love staples products. Thank you Maxine DeSanto
