I consume a lot of paper in my home office principally for printing drafts of long written papers and have found this to be the best value printer paper for my needs. I can't comment on its use in copiers but I like it for printer use. My laser printer is sometimes finicky but this paper rarely jams. It is light enough to keep its cost manageable but is heavy enough to reduce the likelihood of jamming. It has decent whiteness and lacks the flimsiness and annoying texture that recycled paper often has. While I wouldn't recommend it for correspondence or for final documents it is an excellent printer paper for needs like mine
This paper works very well with my Dell Photo 926 printer and text and images show up clearly. It's not the best paper there is but for the price it does it's job quite well. The paper is not glossy so if you need gloss paper look elsewhere but it does have a nice bright white that makes blacks and grays pop on the paper. Good quality printer paper decent price. Prints come out looking clean and vibrant the kind of quality you'd expect. It is whiter than many others I have used and it is right thickness. Photo too is printed nicely.
Sometimes you buy paper that is in such a flimsy box that half of the sheets are ruined. Not this paper! We use lots of paper in our office and we know good paper! It is so wasteful when the paper is bent or wrinkled. It will not run properly through copies and print I really like the fact that it is a bright white so it doesn't look like we are using cheap papers. I never worry about my Staples brand multipurpose paper. The price is usually right too. If you use your Staples Rewards it becomes very affordable.
i HATE paper. everything about it. i am a rabid anti-paper-ite. it takes up spaces gives me cuts gets in the way and takes up space. we are really making a serious effort to go paperless at home and at our small business. but when i need to use paper this is the paper i reach for. it's a nice basic paper that works well with laser and ink jet printers. it loads nicely in trays never jams and never complains when i ignore it and the printer for days at a time. i catch a few reams when staples offers their easy rebate which makes for a super great deal.
As an educator we are constantly making copies for our students. Being the grade leader this past year I was mainly the one to make the copies for the whole third grade team. You might say what's the difference between copy paper? Well I love using the staples multipurpose paper when making copies. The paper is so crisp and clean. The quality is a whole lot better than other brands that I have used.
I order many boxes monthly for our office and this paper is great. Good price and quality. You don't need much for good paper but the feel and brightness is perfect for our florescent lit office.
