There is no need to buy that expensive paper. I have never had a problem with Staples paper. The companies tell you that you have to buy a certain paper and it is usually very expensive. I tried that once. No difference. Staples always have some great deals. The paper is good quality and it works fine in my printer. The last time I had to call about my printer they said it was the paper. Swore up and down it was the paper I used. Come to find out it had nothing to do with the paper there was a part broken.
