It appears to be perfectly serviceable printer paper. In buying paper you can only go by the exterior packaging unless you furtively rip open a package and check the contents ! i did not do this. I did notice a range of prices and chose one that seemed to be the cheapest bearing the Staples brand. I checked out and as I left the store I saw a large display of significantly cheaper paper so placed that it was invisible when entering the store a long way from the paper shelves and presumably there to tempt the shopper leaving the store to make an impulse buy. I did not do that. It was 8 am. I was the only customer in the store and the idea of actually being in a retail environment was slightly concerning. So I left knowing I could have saved $5. I had also forgotten that you cannot shop at Staples without being asked to review the item. I plan now to determine whether there is a price floor below which you are not asked for a review. Apparently there is a word limit on reviews too.
