I started using this paper several years ago when our copier at church continually jammed using 20 lb. paper for 2 sided copying. The 22 lb. paper rarely jammed and made a wonderful presentation! Then it seemed Staples discontinued it. We purchased another copier and the problem disappeared however my enjoyment of using the heavier paper did not disappear. I began a new position and needed to order supplies and found the 22lb. paper once again. So I ordered both for my job and for our church. I am very very happy with this purchase!
I use this paper since it is a 22# weight and it is perfect from printing letters or just copying. It is a good multi use weight paper. Plus it doesn't seem affected by humidity during the summer months.
This is a solid product. It is multipurpose paper - but most other brands are 20 lbs versus Staples 22 lb product. Feels a little more professional and jams less in my Dell laser printer.
Even though I don't do a lot of printing I am not happy with this paper. As it lays there waiting to be picked up from the printer it either curls up or the sides flop over on the arm that extends out making me wonder how thin the paper really is. I guess the next ream I'll have to check for the quality and weight of it.
I ordered this thinking it would be comparable to an HP paper I used to get with the same Brightenss and Thickness rating. But it's just not nearly as good. In fact I am going to return one of the cases. Can't figure out why. It's not as smooth and even though it has the levels it claims it doesn't feel as thick or as bright. Bummer. I was really hoping it would be.
I always try to use this "high-grade" paper for client work that will be in major corporate reference binders and referred to by many persons. It is especially good for two-sided copies or two-sided printing. There is no "bleed-through." Makes for a very professional appearance. Colors print well on it also with no bleed-through. The only down-side on this paper is the cost. It is more expensive than most other copy paper. It is worth it for appearance and for the positive response from clients. I watch for bonus coupons and two-for-one sales.
