It does paper things. Are you seriously reading a review for cheap multipurpose paper expecting it to change your life or something? These sheets weren't lovingly handcrafted or forged in the fires of Mt. Doom... it's just paper and it's perfectly adequate for what I needed. In fact it's only getting 5 stars because it's bland unassuming packaging was utterly perfect for the "Why are there 50 types of paper? I just need paper... which one of these is just plain paper?" mindset I was in when I walked into Staples.
