This paper works in our printer just fine. I am in a business that requires our printer and paper to work in extremely cold temps and I have no complaints.
Staples copy paper is no better than any of the other paper brands out there. I find I am always getting special deals offered by staples too that just make the copy paper that much more nicer. For the brightness it really is bright and clean looking. and I haven't yet brought the brightest color yet so I can only imagine how much cleaner and neater the print would look on this paper. Staples is a good brand to purchase for many items. I advise you give Staples a chance when it comes to comparing brands.
