Not The Best Quality

I have been purchasing 24lb weight printer paper for years. I use the heavier weight 24lb for proposals and presentations. I took a chance and bought this 24lb paper and it is definitely not the heavier 24lb that I've used in the past. Keep in mind that this is the first time I've used the 50% recycled type. I won't be buying it again. I'll have to go back to my previous brand of 24lb printer paper.
This paper is a splurge. It is more pricey than plain 20# copy paper. But oh what a difference it makes. I am secretary to a non-profit group and when I turn in documents they look very professional. If you are going to print on both sides of the paper having heavier stock makes it look better too.
Time to print out those end-of-the-year Christmas letters. Since my epistle always contains lots of colored photos and since I really want to print on both sides of the paper to cut down on postage I try to look for a paper that's both white enough and heavy enough to prevent a lot of bleed-through. This paper is perfect! Combine with that the fact that it's composed of 50% recycled paper and that it's a reasonable price and really one couldn't ask for more. I'm printing my letters out on an ink jet printer but being multipurpose I COULD use it in my laser printer as well. Hurrah!
