I wasn't sure what to get and this is what I bought however I'm only doing stuff at home nothing real important and probably could have gone with a lower weight cheaper paper. Nothing wrong with this one it's great just more expensive than I needed. Too much quality!
I have used 20&22lb & happy. I am a Realtor & use 20 lb for my Clients Contract Disclosures. The paper is a little more crisp & stays uniform in their files. I like the 22lb for Property Flyers stack nicely & have substance when a potential buyer is considering a property. I have used a heavier weight for the front and back pages also. The 20&22 are still impressive for a lower price range and are easy for potential buyers to handle for an Open House. I do like Staples products. A reasonable price & the employees are very helpful & courteous. I just purchased 4 HP 8025 printers recently. My favorite "huge ole HP black printer did everything I needed until the printer heads went out. My husband has replaced those but parts are to high now. My husband & I have 2 home offices. I have a Real Estate Office & and he owns a Construction Company. Very strange they all went out about the same time. It seems to us like they are designed to go out sooner. However we have to have the devices.
It's slightly heavier than copy paper which feels nicer. The brightness is great especially for how inexpensive it is. It's definitely multi-purpose paper - We've used it in our laser printer and it looks great; we've used it for paper airplanes and they fly straight and true; we've used it as filler for a small shipping box and it holds its shape well and performs wonderfully as a cushion. Haven't tried it as toilet paper. Probably won't.
My HP printer can print on both sides of a sheet of paper. But regular 20lb paper would bleed through. Staples 22lb does not and is more durable. However the price is much more than the equivalent 20lb paper.
