I recently bought one ream of the 100% recycled copy paper to use in my printer. I paid the extra money expecting newspaper-like quality because I wanted to be good to the environment. Well I was very pleasantly surprised when opened the package and printed boarding passes for my upcoming flight. The paper was bright white smooth and sturdy. I printed the boarding passes and the bar code scanned easily. I will ABSOLUTELY pay the extra money for this paper - it's just as high quality as any paper I've seen and it's good for the environment!
This paper is just as good if not better then non recycled paper. I use it a lot for the grand-kids printing out coloring pages. The ink does not bleed through and it stands up to the kids. Ages 10 9 4 and 3. That says a lot!
