I've been purchasing the paper for a long time. I don't buy anything else. Anything that I print or copy comes out looking very professional. Photos if I need look good just not as good if I were to use photo paper. You won't be sorry.
At first you look at the brightness count and go 'hmmm do I still want to go for this now that it isn't as bright as it can get ?'... But the truth is that for most applications it is more than sufficiently bright and the paper itself is good in that the ink doesn't leak or blot. You might want to use brighter paper once in a while to print out your resume but you should also use a professional printer in that case - that being said most places that are likely to hire actually ask you for an electronic version and not a paper copy. The fact that it is 100% recycled means that I don't feel as guilty about killing a tree everytime I print a copy however infrequent that might be. I have been using this paper for over a year now and haven't found any major issues with it yet.
Although Staples almost always has other brands on sale I most often choose your 100% recycled paper because of its positive impact on the environment. And although I am willing to pay a little more to support a greener planet I do wish that you would more frequently promote this product with a sale--both to educate and attract new customers and reward existing customers. Thank you.
I have used this paper for at least three years and am completely satisfied with its quality but am looking forward to the time when greater demand for recycled products will make its price comparable to other papers.
