First of all to get 250 sheets of card stock under $16 is pretty rare. I've used "PrintWorks" brand stock before which is only 67lb weighted stock and it prints at a much better quality feels heavier cuts easier colors pop better etc. 250 sheets of that is only a few more dollars and works much better so I'm probably going to stick with that in the future. However Staples brand wasn't so bad to where I couldn't use it it was still great paper for the price.
