It is a little awkward writing a review of paper. I can say that this multipurpose paper at least according to the packaging is brighter than the Staples standard copy paper. I bought this case with a rebate as I will continue to do as it is offered with the purpose of donating it to my daughters' teachers. The public school system is always in desperate need of supplies and these rebates allow me to help. Thank you Staples.
This is the paper I usually purchase. It is usually on sale; and is a perfect weight for the letters and faxes I send. The feature I like the most is that it is still a 500 sheet ream. Many brands have taken to putting 400 sheets in a package - you do not even ralize this until you notice that your office paper supply is dwindling rapidly. I can count on Staples brand to deliver 500 sheets when the package states "a ream." That is the expectation. Also I have never had a package that is somewhat dogeared etc.; and therefore very few if any paper jams.
It's economy multipurpose paper. Being the Staples named brand it's less expensive than some of the other brands. Staples often has coupons to pick these up for 1 cent after rebate. This is good multipurpose paper as advertised. I use it a lot.
