Due to the papers thin-ness and maybe the packaging/shipping it tends to be slightly rippled when removed from the ream wrap. Thin-ness is also the reason why it isn't crisp white in color and almost translucent. But this is not a problem for me as I use the paper for personal/personal business use and it works good for flyers that are folded/enveloped.
THIS PAPER IS EXCELLENT IN QUALITY AS FAR AS EVERY DAY USE. YOU REALLY CAN NOT TELL IT IS 100% RECYCLED. THIS PAPER IS ONE WAY TO MAKE A GREEN CHOICE. I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT RECYCLING. BUYING THIS PAPER ALLOWS ME TO SUPPORT AND PROMOTE WHAT I THINK IS BETTER FOR OUR ENVIROMENT & FUTURE. OUR CHOICES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
This is a near match to the unrecycled paper in terms of brightness and evenness of color. The texture is a little bit rougher and the thickness is a little thinner than the non-recycled paper. The thinness is actually an advantage because it takes up less room in a notebook or file cabinet. Since I print large amounts for work and school this is the least I can do for the earth. Considering that my typical computer printout is used only for a few reads the small compromises this product asks me to make are well worth it. A high price-performance point.
The 100% recycled paper (20 lb.) works great for the typical office printing/copy needs as it's the same quality as regular (nonrecycled) printing/copy paper.
