Good value for a good product

I have been using this paper for many years and it has always served me well. I have two (different) copiers (both Cannon) and I have not had many (if any) problems with the paper getting stuck in the machines. The size is consistently uniform. I like the thickness of the paper as well (not too thick not too thin) so double sided text doesn't show through on the other side. The ink stays put too (no smudges)! This is a good multi purpose paper and it is a good value for a good product (espeically when it's on sale!)
I always use this Staples paper in my printer. It's been very good for all my printing needs and you can usually get it on sale at some point during the year.
We go through a lot of paper. My wife is an adjunct psychology professor and I'm an engineer constantly printing reports proposals presentations and reference material. We easily go through a ream or 2 a week on our home Dell 3115 laser printer. I've tried all brands of paper. The Staples multi-use brand in the blue wrapper is by far the best value out there. It's usually on sale we get great results and I very seldom have a paper jam - maybe once a year. I've had jamming problems with other brands including the famous national brands.
For the price this is a good basic/printer copier paper. Buy it on sale with a coupon and it is an even better deal. I have used it for both color and black and white printing one-sided and front and back and the inks do not bleed through at all with fast draft or normal printing. However when printing at best quality some shadowing does occur when printing front and back especially if printing heavily covered areas on one side or the other. So far I have experience no paper jams using this paper.
