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 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.
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.
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.
As Curator of The Online Paper Airplane Museum I am trying to "go Green" with my company. This 100% recycled paper is very helpful with that. Not only is it in a cardboard box (recycles easily) the reams are wrapped in paper too instead of plastic. The only downside is the twin plastic straps that hold the box top on. Perhaps there is a green solution to that too?
