I was using HP Multi-Purpose Paper of the same weight and decided to try the Staples brand. Even though it is more cost effective the weight and feel of the paper is definitely not the same as the HP paper. I would not recommend this as a substitute for the HP Multi-Purpose Paper.
This is absolutely my favorite all around paper. Are there times I need a heavier weight sure but this is the best paper for 99% of way we use paper in our house. Clear bright white -- the print looks great on it and it's affordable!
