Well let's see. It seems to be white and it's cut accurately. I haven't opened it yet. Ask me again in about 6 months. BTW you haven't asked me what I think of my HP printer so I'll tell you. It is the crankiest printer I've had yet and believe me HP knows how to make cranky printers. Oh yes and thanks for deciding to recycle tape cartridges again. They were piling up. And yeah I'll always recommend Staples' brand paper to friends and not-so-friends. It's good stuff.
