Printing paper you can count on
on August 16, 2013

I always buy what is either the best buy or is on sale. I have purchased this particular paper on many occasions and have never been dissatisfied. I purchased a case last year for our church. We've shared some with our missionaries and everyone has been satisfied with the quality of the paper. I would recommend this to friends and family members as well. I've used this for making little tags to glue on to gold poster board to make a "thank you for sharing our wedding day" tag that was tied on a wedding favor. The paper gave a very crisp clean effect to the tag tied on the favors.
The only thing i dislike is no carry haddles on the boxes for ease of movement I would recommend tube handguard out of cheap cardborad on the plastic retainer straps so hands can grip and carry box.I state cardboard because it an be thrown in the recycle bin.
We use alot of paper at our house. It's nice to get a case of paper while it's on sale especially when we are satisfied with the quality of it. Also receiving rewards for it is an extra bonus as we shop for all our supplies at Staples. We've been dealing with Staples for many years and have yet to be disappointed with their merchandise and have been even more pleased with the people who take care of us. We plan to continue to deal with them and their employees for many years to come. I hope everyone is as satisfied as we are. Thank you.
The paper is pretty good and documents print cleanly. However we have had two problems with this paper. It feeds multiple sheets more often than seems reasonable with the result that we often have to reprint documents that were printed on miss-fed paper. Even more important to us is that the plastic package is hard to open cleanly. We only load part of a ream into our printer at a time and like to leave the rest in the original package. While the plastic package is good in that it keep the paper fresh the way it is sealed makes it impossible to open the package without tearing. HP paper's packaging is much better in this regard. Not only can you open it neatly but you can even re-tape it closed if you want. However that paper IS more expensive as well. So yes I would recommend this paper but with some caveats.
