Very good copy paper
on April 30, 2008

This is very good paper for copying purposes. The text quality is better than most copy papers I tried. Although I found this paper a little bit thin it was noticeably thicker than most 20-weight copy papers I used. Obviously because of its 22-lb. weight I do not recommend this paper for 2-sided documents or documents needing a lot of ink or toner. Like other 20- to 24-lb. papers significant 'show-through' and a little 'bleed-through' was evident with this paper when a lot of ink or toner is required. Anyway this is among the best copy/multiuse papers I used and I strongly recommend that Staples use this paper in every Staples Copy and Print Center.
As a Special Education teacher I go through lots of paper. My students are middle school age but read at a low level so I find myself re-creating a lot of curricular material to make it readable for them but not "babyish" looking. Bright colors and illustrations are important to support motivation and this paper is up to the task. The paper also stands up well when used as part of their loose-leaf subject-area notebooks--which get well-thumbed through during review and assessment activities.
