This was exactly what I expected it would be and I have to say truthfully that every single sheet of paper of the five ream pack performed as well as the last one. I was impressed at the density of the paper it was not thin and transparent as some paper and when printing on both sides the printing could not be seen through the paper. The paper also performed well in a lazer jet printers and also in the copier. My company was running out of paper and was glad that is brought this in. Fortunately the price was so affordable with the sale plus coupon and rebate!
