The only copier paper we use
on June 18, 2008
Posted by: Paula K.
We have been very pleased with this paper. Our law office goes through a lot of copier paper and needs good quality bright paper. Lesser quality paper creates dust and causes our high-speed multi-functional copiers to break down more often. This is the only paper we now use in our black and white copiers.
Everyone In The Office Loves This Paper. We Use It To Print Division Orders Thousands Of Oil & Gas Production Reports And Accounting Papers Such As Invoices And Statements Ext. And Have Never Had A Problem With It Jamming Or Poor Quality. In Fact Its The Only Paper We Will Buy For All The Black & White Laser Printers/Copies For The Colored Machines We Buy Color Laser Paper. We Love This Paper And Don't Plan On Changing Any Time Soon. Buy This Paper You Won't Be Disappointed.
This is a fair-to-good basic copy paper and can be used as typing paper and 'starter paper' but is not good for much else. The text quality is fair-to-good but generally appears a little 'soft'. This paper like many brands of 20-lb. paper rips and tears easily and must be handled carefully and it also jams easily and pulls 'doubles' at times on all my printers and copiers. One also must be careful to not set the ink/toner levels too high when using this paper or else the ink will bleed through easily and this paper is not recommended for 2-page documents or documents requiring a lot of ink/toner. Also many sheets of this paper have wrinkles at the edges and curls easily. The brightness varies from package to package but is generally 'mid-pack' as compared to other copy and multiuse papers on the market. In comparison Staples 'Bright White Multiuse Paper' has much better text quality is much brighter feels more 'substantial' doesn't rip or tear as easily rarely jams on my copiers and printers and is a much better paper overall.[...]
This paper is unimpressive. The brightness varies with each package and I notice there are some wrinkles and creases at the edges of some packages causing the papers inside to wrinkle and crease at the edges. The text quality is just 'OK'. The ink bleeds easily. Again this paper is unimpressive and I strongly recommend Staples use its bright white paper in all its Copy and print centers.
We use this paper in all our printers (inkjet and laser) fax machine and copier. It looks great and very rarely jams any of the machines. The plastic packaging keeps the paper in great condition and the easy-open tab is a great feature! We stock up when it is on sale.
