Didn't need a full case of paper. It was great to find this "mini" case of 3 reams for a great price. It was actually cheaper to purchase the "mini" case rather than individual reams. It saved me a couple of dollars.
I then brought it in for staples copy center to run on their own machine and didn't even get a discount for the stock I purchased from staples in the first place that wouldn't run through my own printer. it was definitely a problem with the paper as other stocks I had run fine - including oversized stocks.
