Just began using the paper and it met my expectations (hard to say much about such a basic item). Price was very good and the rebate made it fantastic.
We have been using this paper for the past year and have never had a paper jam in our copiers -- one is a laser and the other a desk jet. We have been extremely happy with the quality and have recommended it to the other business in our office building. Obviously a case of paper is extremely heavy. When I go to Staples to buy the paper I am provided with excellent service. A case of the Staples Multipurpose paper is obtained by one of the Staples' clerks and carried to my car. They are extremely kind and cheerful.
I have purchased Staples brand paper for several years and generally have found the paper and the packaging to be satisfactory. Sometimes the paper seems to stick together when printing and that is annoying although so far it has not caused to printer to jam nor caused a print job to fail. The paper used to be offered in boxes with 3 reams per box which I found quite convenient but it seems that packaging has been discontinued it would be nice if that smaller packaging would be offered again.
I just love this paper. The quality of the paper is very good. I seems to have no problems with this paper in my printer. It fits well and glides through the printer with no hang ups. I use this paper for all of my teaching responsiblities. I have students work with this paper as to make booklets final copies of essays as well as using it for drawing when they complete their final tasks for science and reading assignments. I have tried different grades of paper and I was not happy with how the work looked when I was finished. This is the best buy for your money.
The paper itself is very high quality. It has 96 brightness and works well in both my Hewlett Packard and Canon printers. I have never had a jam with this paper. The 5-pack is also handy. It is much easier to wield than the 10 ream cases. (FYI: Staples had been selling this paper in 8 ream cases which I purchased before I realized that I had only gotten 8 reams. I am very happy that Staples has gone back to 10-ream cases) I do tax work and use a tremendous amount of paper much of which ends up in my shredder. Staples frequently puts this paper on sale usually with a rebate so you have to pay full price and get the rebate in the mail sometime afterwards. But it's still a major discount. I wish though that you could just pay the "after rebate" price at the register. The rebates are not hard to submit (online it's very easy) but you do have to wait several weeks. And they come on a Visa card. But all-in-all if I shop carefully I can get great paper at a fabulous price.
