This paper says it is not recycled but it is porous and sucks up ink like crazy as is often typical of 'tired fiber' paper. If you think ink is too expensive you will use tons of it with this paper. I bought a case and the case is going back. The weight is not 20# in my opinion it is more like a 19# just enough to make an already skimpy weight way too thin. That it comes out of printer rippled from the heat attests to its skimpiness. I used cases of Xerox Multipurpose paper before and it had an excellent finish to it not absurdly absorbent and as they no longer make it tried Staples brand. My .02. Dont buy it. It's about $44 a case but costs far more because of its greed for ink.
I use the product in supporting me in preparation of engineering reports. The quality is good there are no jams. However the speed is very slow. I like the wireless feature that cleans up my desk.
Great quality for the price and sturdy for all purposes. Makes ink jet look as good as toner-created forms and offers sharp contrast with colour. Photos are very good even on "Normal" print setting brochures appear professionally printed and paper has enough stiffness to handle well when sorting filing etc.
