Just as good as more expensive paper

This paper is a great bargain. Some generic or store brands do not measure up to the "name" brand but this definitely does. I see no difference except the lower price.
I use this paper all the time. You can't really tell it's quality by the packaging but don't steer away from it. It is quality paper in what I think is a very generic package. Sometimes when you purchase the more economical paper it is not cut right and enters the printer off center but this one is consistently cut right with no concern over the dimensions. I generally go through a ream every month and I can count on it. The only this I do not like is how the package opens. I wish it had a perforation or tear strip to make it easier to open.
I use a lot of this paper due to its quality and good results for printing brochures and other documents. The price of this paper is much more reasonable than other brand papers. The results of all printing is just as good as other papers and in some cases even superior to their quality. Staples sometimes has specials on this paper I therefore buy the specials each time and I always have enough paper on hand for my use. I have told many of my friends about the price and quality of this paper and they try it and also use it for their projects. This paper should be promoted to chartable organizations so they would purchase it due to cost and quality.
Paper is too expensive. I do not buy it unless it.goes on sale. This pack goes for one cent at the beginning of the summer and I try to.stock up for my house but mostly for my classroom ( I am a teacher and we have to provide our own paper and supplies). This pack of paper is not the best quality (thickiest whitiest)but it definitely serves its purpose. I will continue to buy it as long as it continues to be put on sale. I do have one request that they allow teachers to get the two packs for their house/personal use and additional reams for their classroom.
