Not high quality at all

I tried this paper to replace that of another brand's recycled paper because it was cheaper. It isn't cheaper when you get what you pay for and this was bad. I bought a case and every ream reacted the same way. After running it double-sided through a Xerox printer/copier it curled and waved. Then I tried to use my booklet maker to fold a 7 page booklet. The paper wouldn't stay straight. It ripped easily curled up and generally tried to jam the machine about every 8-10 copies. I had to print more than usual and the booklet is for a Non-profit client so costs need to be kept down. Theirs were mine weren't as I had to waste ink and paper with multiple reprints. I will never use this paper again. Other Staples brand papers might be fine but for 11 X 17 this certainly isn't multi-useable.
This paper seems extra bright which gives nice contrast for black and white printing. I found it a bit lightweight although useable for double-sided copying. Still a good product.
Very good quality for light weight paper for ordinary documents or copies Good quality photos without having to change paper Very convenient and inexpensive for all around use
