It's paper.

It's paper folks. White each sheet is letter-size and my copiers don't have a problem with it. But don't confuse this with a rave review - whatever paper is on sale at Staples this week can be described the same way. I've yet to buy a cheap box of non-recycled paper from anywhere no matter how generic its appearance that wouldn't fit the same profile. If this is the least expensive box of paper they have this week get it. If it isn't get the one that is. Oh and if paper does cause your machine to jam use the money you saved buying the cheapest paper you could find and turn the air conditioner on. The 500 humidity sponges in the paper drawer as well as your employees will thank you.
This is good paper for an every day use. It is a brilliant white not yellow or beige with other value paper. It seems to be strong for how thin it is too. The downsides to this paper it seems to get that wet and crinkly feel when coming out of the printer. I don't have a cheap printer it's brand new top of the line and even with the ink setting on low it still has the wet crinkle coming out. This paper is for rough drafts of legal paperwork the everyday making copies. If you have final legal briefs or other finished documents ready to print find yourself a thicker higher quality paper just for that purpose.
My wife and I shop to save money. In the past we tried a cheaper price product - paper stuck together. Or paper too thin and ink showed through. Went back to this product. Paper far better and WELL WORTH THE PRICE. NO PROBLEMS.
