Even better than the regular

The Staples brand of 100% recycled is the best I've tried. While it seems a little thinner and lighter than regular paper that's actually a big plus because it (a) is much easier to staple large documents and (b) doesn't take as much space in my binders and other archives. Having used this in various HP and Brother printers I haven't noticed any difficulties with paper jams or tearing. I've been using this almost exclusively for a year now and I can say that this paper has proved to be quite durable.
This is the only inject printer paper I use (other than photo paper). I have used it for several years with no complaints. This paper is proof that quality paper from 100% recycled materials is here!
This is some really nice paper. I bought a couple reams to print invoices. I'm very happy with it. There are no markings on the paper like some recycled paper has. Staples also has a 24 lb version with a 96 bright. Both of these produce very nice prints using a color laser. I haven't tested on an ink jet for bleed.
I wanted to love this paper since I'm trying to switch to as many recycled products as possible but it curls so badly coming out of my printers and copiers that it causes the copies coming OUT to jam. It's also very difficult to feed a copy into the single sheet feeder due to the curl. I'm going to try the 50% recycled to see if it's better.
I use about a box of paper a week. I was feeling guilty about my paper usage and for years have been making file copies on the back of paper that I had already printed on the one side. Even though I was already recycling in this manner I was looking for more ways to cut down on my environmental impact. When I spotted the Staples 100% Recycled Copy Paper I knew I had found another way to help. The paper is bright and compares well to the regular Staples Copy Paper. And I still use it a second time through the copier using the blank side - i figure that's what the bypass is for!
