Decent 20 lb Paper
on December 25, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
Decent 20 lb paper for an excellent post-discount price (final cost = 1 penny); DETAILS: Hard to complain about his paper in that it meets expectations for a 20 lb multi-purpose paper when using it for an inkjet multi-function device. While its white level can be beat by more costly paper choices out there it still remains in the very acceptable range. The only issue that I encountered was trying to find undamaged reams to purchase at my local Staples store; While I was able to get what I needed it seemed that nearly all of their inventory of this SKU had been dropped from a height on its side with the ream wrappers split-open and the paper inside appearing to suffer some edge damage... Edge-damaged paper does not work too well with any of the HP printers that I use.
I would highly recommend this product for every day printing. I am a student and usually buy it when rebates are available to save on cost. It feeds through both of my printers without jams. A great product at a great price. Can't beat it.
I use a lot of paper for miscellaneous projects - copies of documents for the non-profit I am treasurer for copies of coupons lists to share with friends projects for children at my church etc. Whenever I see a deal on 'free' paper - I go for it. This offer came at a time when I wasn't really 'out' of paper but hey - buy two get one free - perfect! If you're looking for thick quality business paper this isn't it - but for most of what I do it's perfect. Now - if I could only find enough space to store the extra reams!
This is one of the highest quality papers I can find for the price add in the rebates offered by Staples and you can't beat the quality or the price. It comes in handy when you have online coupons that need to be printed. The paper is high quality but at a price that just about everyone can afford. It is high enough quality to write letters but cheap enough your kids or grandkids can use it draw picture to send to friends. Light enough weight to hang their masterpieces on your refrigerator.
When I need a ream of paper quickly and not too expensive I will generally run into my local Staples store and pick up the multipurpose paper. It is not too expensive and has a decent print quality when set on the default print setting. It doesn't hurt that occasionally there is a nice easy rebate that comes with it and that usually comes in pretty quick.
