20 lb. copy paper is nowhere near as thick sturdy and substantial as it was some years ago. Hammermill paper made by International Paper is terrible these days--comes out of the printer wrinkled like it's absorbed tons of humidity. International Paper which I think makes the Staples house brands seems to do a little bit better with the Staples Multipurpose paper. It's still thinner and flimsier than paper used to be -- however even though it sometimes curls/wrinkles on the sides overall it is much much better than Hammermill. I gave it an average rating because -- compared to the paper of years ago -- that's all it is: average.
Paper is a item one can always use and always need. We do lots of genealogy research which is important to document; so lots of printing is required. In addition we like day trips and we print lots of maps. On line purchases require printing of the purchase orders. The paper is good quality paper especially for the sale price. By utilizing rewards points; we were able to obtain a case for the price of one pack. Really can't beat the reward program. This item was easy to find in the store and to purchase.
