When you buy paper you look for a number of items. (1) How much paper dust is generated. More than a little dust messes with your printer. I find that I get very little paper dust. (2) You also expect that paper should be jam free or very close to it. I find this paper to be almost totally jam free. (3) Paper should also feed through the printer or copier one sheet at a time. It should not stick so that multiple sheets go through at the same time. This happens very rarely with this paper. (4) The brightness of the paper is also superior. (5) The price is better than what you get with a lot of the name brand papers.
Store personnel grossly overcharged me even though I've been going to this location for years. I have resolved never to go to that Staples again even though it close to me in my neighborhood. I was very disappointed that I was taken advantage of. That is why I gave the paper a negative rating. It wasn't worth the price or heartache.
We purchased 2 big cases of this paper. Some reams seem okay. But a lot of them have been full of all different kinds of paper. It's all white so you don't necessarily notice it for everything but when I have to fold statements that I've printed I definitely notice. I'd have about five normal sheets of paper then the sixth one is really thin and flimsy almost like typing paper. Then there'd be a sheet that's extra thick like you'd use for a resume. It's all mixed up randomly. Very strange! I'm going to use it until it's gone (unless one of my clients complains) then I'll never buy this brand again.
I'd better get my rebate or I'll never buy paper at Staples again. The last time I sent for a rebate I never got it. Still waiting for this one. I can buy paper cheaper elsewhere.
