NICE PAPER; GOOD PRICE
on March 6, 2016

By purchasing this Staples product you and I can save money....which is always good. The paper is a good weight and you get 250 sheets at a decent price. I make lots of greeting cards and embellishments; also most suitable and appropriate for posters. The color is creamy and pretty; a good buy easy to use for punches; paper does not have a sheen to it. Yes I would recommend.
I like this card stock but the quality is a little different from a name brand I used to use and the color doesn't print as brilliantly as that brand but it will suffice. I make entirely too many greeting cards to go back to buying the name brand at the price they charge for it. I need to buy it in bulk and that's exactly what Staples offers!
I wanted to make bookmarks of my artwork for resale so the images had to look sharp and have good color. I was surprised at how accurate the image and colors turned out just using the standard setting on my low end Canon MX492 printer. The colors of the images turned out great even though it was set to standard plain paper setting instead of photo papers. I'm impressed!
The picture of this card stock on the website appears to have dark speckles however the paper is actually solid white color. I have gotten different 110 lb paper from other stores that was a bit more sturdy that this but it works for my needs.
This cardstock is perfect for stamping and layering for making cards. I do notice when I use a trimmer to cut it I have to trim the ragged edges but to be fair that might be my trimmer blade. For those who do scrapbooking and card making this is a good "layering weight" card stock.
