I purchased this for printing flyers on a heavy card stock. I am very disappointed with the ink coverage. This paper does not absorb ink evenly and the printed piece looks sub-standard compared to other papers. This appears to be a very low-quality paper stock. In areas where there was heavy ink applied (like a photo for example) the absorption was very splotchy and uneven. In areas where light ink was applied (like text for example) the ink was not absorbed well so that black text looked like a medium gray. I experimented with many different printer settings on two different HP ink jet printers and I could not get this paper to work well.
Just what we needed to clue our photos on then put thru our laminator. Turned out beautifully. May buy more in future. Staples Staff was very helpfull too. Recommend the product highly!
Reliable professional and thoughtful professionals at work in the photo department. Our use the department a lot as a teacher and I need things quickly and done correctly and everyone there take such good care of me I feel lucky! Thank you so family
Used this product for descriptions of Auction Items that had to be displayed on Art Easels. The colors came out great for the purpose. My only issue was using them in a LaserJet HP 8615 Printer. I had to only print 25 at a time as the feeder didn't like a full tray of the paper. Could have been the pickup on the printer or just operator error.
