This paper is whiter than other quality paper I normally use. The print seems to jump out at the reader. It works great for our menu master copies and I have noticed the Staples reprints are clean and clear. Good stuff.
I have found the Staples Multipurpose paper to be of similar quality to the Hammermill Copy Plus paper. I usually wait for a Staples sale on paper for my school's laser printers. I have found that the Staples Multipurpose paper jams less frequently and leaves behind less paper lint and less paper coating after extended use in our printers when compared to the bargain basement papers. This leads to less printer down time over the life of the printers and extends the life of the printers. I would recommend buying this paper that is a step up from the bargain paper as a better value in the long run especially as it is frequently on sale at Staples although it is usually limited to 2 cases.
This is not your ordinary off brand paper. The paper does not jam my ink-jet printer like most inexpensive paper. The color is crisp white enough for my children to do high school projects term papers and reports that look well put together. Con: its normal shelf price is more than I would spend for above average paper but with sales it makes it just as inexpensive as other store brands & with rebates it can even be free.
