I can not rate this product BUT I can rate the service and delivery. I ordered this case of paper before I was completly out of stock and wasn't realy in a rush but i was given a delivery date and near the end of that date was given another date the next day. OK I wasn't out of paper but was expecting delivery and stayed close to home that whole day. Next day mid day the delivery truck pulled up and I met the driver at the rear of the truck to save him a couple of steps. He was busy recording numbers off the box but I noticed he turned the case away from my view. I walked to his other side and saw that he was shielding the faact that the case was damaged. I turned it around and examined the case and it appeared that one ream of paper had been bent so I figured I had spent two days to get the product I would accept it rather than wait for another delivery. I opened the box when I got into the house as I said it was demaged but not to the point I wont be able to use it as long as I watch the direction I feed it in the printer and take note of how it works on auto-two side printing. To be fair to the driver he did offer to return this case and return with another which I rejected. I looked into the truck and there were no more of this colored boxes present I mention this as a reminder to be carefull with merchandise as delivery costs cut into the profit structure of any business.
I bought this at the register thinking what a great deal a rebate of $3.00 off. I was unable to submit through the web site . It kept saying it could not find the offer. I will be very wary of staples adds / rebates from now on!
When used in an un-airconditioned environment I've noticed a lot more curling of this paper than other brands. I have to stand by the printer and periodically take out large print jobs or they will get dumped on the floor. This problem is far less in my other air-conditioned location but it still curls more than other papers. Also as this is 92 bright versus the usual 96 a noticeably different appearance. Important factor if you are doing a mixed size printing and your letter size paper is the usual 96 bright. On the positive side I've gone through at least two cases of this and never had any jamming problems wrinkled pages etc. Next time around I will upgrade to Staples multipurpose (Sku 562789).
