It's paper. So yea it does what it is supposed it's white comes in a big blue box it's nicer than the paper in the big red box. I wouldn't say people necessarily need nicer paper it's just nice to have if you are doing something super professional. For the other paper that is not as white it turns dingy grayish yellowish over time more quickly and compared to actual white paper like this one you can see it's actually a dark yellowish type color. But paper is paper and if you aren't impressing people it's not a big difference.
Way over paid for item and now waiting 6 to 8 weeks to get the rebate which was about 75% of the purchase price! Staples really needs to either stop rebates or give them to you at the time of purchase.
I print out puzzles coloring pages and projects for my grandkids and this paper is perfect. I can afford to use it for these projects because it is reasonably priced and I don't have to worry about the cost of each page.
I have used this product for many years. I have printed 36 page and 10 page newsletters every month. I have used a case every month. The larger newsletter when folded for mailing never exceeded the size and weight limits imposed by the U.S. Postal service. The weight and quality of the paper never varied from one case to another. I primarily use a laserjet printer for these newsletters. There is never a problem with toner running or bleeding. The printed words stand out clearly and distinctly on the bright white background. I always buy this paper and appreciate the savings frequently available during sales.
The offer came along at just the right time. I am a professional writer and as you might expect I go through a lot of paper. I use it both for drafts and finished manuscripts. Best part of all no paper jams.
