The Stapes brand of printer paper is a great deal for the money. I don't see any need/reason to spend more for other brands. With Staples easy rebates it is easy to get a ream of paper for minimal cost. If you're not in dire need of paper then I suggest waiting to purchase the paper until Staples offers a "deal" on their paper because they have special offers frequently.
Great paper for everyday use. Also is quality enough for the formal report or letter to a client. Finish is good and consistent throughout the entire ream. Worth that little bit higher price than the generic grade.
