great paper for the dollar

Great paper to have for everyday use doesn't smug or rip. Especially for coupon children papers school papers personal and any other items. You can get a mail in rebate through staples to mail in and you only end up paying up too only .01 cent and sometime even free for a ream of paper.
I purchased this paper as I was checking out. It was a display at the cashier's station. The price was good but discovered you had to mail in a rebate to receive a check that covered the difference from the actual price to the sale price. The paper itself is very thin and has a cheap feel to it. It is not for anything the you are going to submit as a letter or a work project or what have you. I went and purchase a better quality paper and will use this bargain ream for non essential projects. I have a feeling I will have this ream for quite some time.
This Staples copy paper ran in the high speed copier without jamming. The paper had good opacity this is important to us since we often need to print on both sides of the sheet. The paper also worked well on our folding machine. The Staples copy paper is a good bright white. The Staples brand paper is every bit as good quality as Hammermill or other national brands and Staples copy paper when on sale is less expensive to buy. Yes I will buy Staples copy paper when I need to restock my supply.
I like this paper just fine but I wish I didn't have to do a rebate. My kids go thru paper like water. They use it to draw color write books make costumes weapons toys you name it! So I really like that Staples offers this "free" paper. I have used these rebates so many times. They don't take long but it would still be nice not to have to go through the trouble of doing the rebate. But after all is said and done it's worth it to get free paper especially for my creative kids! And the quality is just fine!
