I'm looking for a paper quality and weight similiar to Epson presentation matte 11x17 27lb. The epson paper feels expensive to me I wonder if there's any other paper (matte) that gives good quality and cheap pricing. I want to use it for rough draft presentations (meaning having something to show the instructor but print on a cheaper paper) so an around 27lb is good not anything lighter than this. I had a lot of 20lb letter size white paper i got from staples but the paper wrinkles when I tried to print with normal printing setting. It seems to me that the paper is too thin to absorb normal level of ink.
Bought this since we started having things to print out for the tax season. We also bought this when it was on sale. Paper is a good weight. Paper makes clearer printings than previous paper we had. We have not found any folded or wrinkled sheets as of yet still have at least half the case to go but it appears these should all be good paper reams.
Staples offers this paper on a daily basis at a reasonable price. As with my last purchase of many it can often be found on sale at 33 - 50% off. I feel just as comfortable using this paper for presentations with clients as I do making file copies. I have made thousands of copies on short and long runs without a single jam. Copies from my ink jet printer do not rub off and result in long-lasting permanent copies for tax and securities purposes. Moving forward I do not see a need to purchase a more expensive paper.
As I am an Educator and a Motivational Speaker I use many handouts at my speaking engagements. The handouts play an important role visually in my presentations. I need them to represent me in the best possible way as they are the tangible reminder of the presentation the audience takes away with them. The handouts are of top quality paper not thin and flimsy. I have actually received compliments on them and I know the grade of paper makes a big difference! I buy the paper by the ream each time and I never allow myself to run out and have to replace it with an inferior grade paper!!
