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.
WHILE YOU PAY MORE FOR 100% RECYCLED PAPER IT IS MORE RESPONSIBLE BUY. RECYCLING ONLY WORKS IF THE BUSINESS MODEL WORKS

Best of both worlds

This paper is great for those who care about the environment and dislike printing out but sometimes just cannot get around it. You can print pretty much anything on this paper other than pictures. The only drawback is that the paper is thin. (I would not print my resume out on this paper.) For anyone that prints often this type of paper is a must! You can feel a lot better about printing on recycled paper rather than on freshly cut down trees. Also the paper color is good too it is almost snow white.
