Why Pay for the Expensive Brands
on November 9, 2012
Posted by: Paula K.
I order all of my paper ink and other products that I use in my home office from STAPLES and the FREE delivery for spending over $50.00 is a big bonus. I order and pay online and my order is delivered in 48 hours max. Love that and I'm also saving on gas even though my STAPLES is only a mile away. I love the free delivery.
I have used all sorts of paper in my printer/copier (a Brother 8890). While it is not particularly picky about the type of paper it uses it certainly jams up with really cheap paper. This paper is heavy enough to reliably run through and it doesn't stick together such that two sheets are picked up at once. I have had some issues with the pages sticking together just a little bit AFTER it is printed on. It is VERY subtle but I pick it up when I run it through a Fujitsu scanner and two pages run together through the feeder. Perhaps the Fujitsu is just more picky about the paper than the Brother? Regardless it is enough of an issue to knock off one star since some other papers I regularly use don't have this issue.
If I had to choose just one copy paper this one would be it. It is economical makes good prints has colorlock to help when you are printing in color. For all of my copying I rely on an inexpensive but very good copy paper. I have used more expensive paper but this is by far better for all-around printing whether in black and white or color. I have used it for copying photos prints downloaded information and even for portraits. The paper is good enough to use for my many photos and I like it's availability.
I purchased a HP7500a wide carriage printer some time ago and had some 11 X 17 paper. I needed to get more paper and only found the full reem package. I am retired and only use a few sheets at a time and a reem should last about 20 years. You need to offer smaller packages.
