I use this paper to print Sunday bulletins for our church. It is good quality I have experienced only one printer jam in over three reams of paper. The congregation likes the contrast and ease of reading using this paper.

Great for printing posters

The hue [color] makes for nice posters: eye catching yet not glaring. Toner printing goes well on this paper.

Paper Curls After Printing
on October 10, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I've been using this paper for years. It's never been good. But at some point you've had enough and decide it's time to move on. My experience with Staples colored pastel papers has not been great. The colors are nice and the paper is undeniably paper. The compliments stop there at one huge sticking point: Without fail the paper curls up at the horizontal edges after printing. I've flipped and reversed the paper in our printer's feeder tray. I've tried different printers. It doesn't matter. It's just not durable paper. The output we use these yellow sheets for get filed in hanging file folders. The curls guarantee these sheets slide down the interior pocket to form a reasonable facsimile of a rolled up newspaper which naturally further enhances the curling problem to the point you just say "forget about it!" and pull the stock of sheets and sit something heavy atop them for a week in the hopes they'll flatten out. Once more paperwork gets married to these sheets they ultimately end up fine. But as solitary sheets they're flimsy and the post-printer curling is just not worth the slight savings over better quality papers. I STRONGLY recommend avoiding this annoying paper particularly if you'll be filing the output away for your records.

It's a nice soft color and a change from the bright white paper.

Easy on the Eyes
on October 9, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
The softer cream color of this paper makes it much easier on the eyes while still making the printed material clear and precise. I've switched away from bright white paper for use in my home printer because I find the cream to be a much better choice. I use printer paper primarily to print out records of on line orders and payments. With the cream toned paper the record is still crisp and clean but doesn't promote eye watering glare. The cream color gives a softer and in my opinion classier look to my records.
