Staples Multipurpose Paper compares to the higher-priced name brands but at a much more reasonable price especially when taking advantage of their many sales and rebates. My business never buys anything but the Staples brand and with no regrets. We never have an issue with the quality of the paper in our seven office machines. Even though Staples offers the higher-priced name brands why would anyone buy anything else but Staples Multipurpose Paper? We are very pleased with Staples Multipurpose paper.
I chose Staples Multi Purpose printer paper in confusion of all the choices. It's great for every day printing of emails or directions or even coupons. I have since learned that my favorite paper is that of a weight of 24lb. I'm not sure what any of that means (other than the thickness) and it's less see through. All in all though I would definitely recommend staples multi purpose paper for the price of the ream and the availability in amount at the store. Maybe next time I will look for the heavy weight.
