This paper is well worth the money. I use it for so many projects. When my sister runs out of it she always come over to snatch some of mine. We even got my sons using this product. At first they seemed that it wasn't as good as their's but they ran out one day and guess what they borrowed some of mine. My husband like to print everything he sees. The quality is there. I don't have worry if it will jam in my printer. Loading it is also easy. I even use it to write notes. I find that people will buy a better paper than the junk you get at discount stores.
I ran out of paper in my printer the other day and had to go pick some up staples always has pretty good deals on paper which i got on this single ream. The mulipurpose paper works great for what I need just printing off copies scanning the normal stuff you would use printer paper for. The paper is a good quality for it's price.
Staple sells this very cheaply (almost free after rebate every once in a while). It's certainly the low end compared with all of their printing papers. It's not as white thick or heavy as the more expensive ones but it is good enough for kid's school home work and other non-formal use. The rebate is on line and very easy to file. I give 3 stars for the product and another star for the price after rebate. I highly recommend it and will buy again at their low price.
I am not quite sure how one could write over 400 characters on a large heavy box of paper but I will certainly try! Staples mutlipurpose paper 8 1/2" by 11" is a great fit for my office as it is a nice heavyweight paper with brightness and is very durable and non stick in laser printers and also other printers. I certainly also like the fact that the paper appears to be long lasting and retains good images. I have purchased this paper from Staples many times and got a great deal buying two boxes and getting a third free or other such offers so I highly recommend it.
