If you are a Rewards member Staples offers frequent coupons where you can get this paper for $.01 after a rebate. The rebate process online is about as streamlined as it could be and the rebates are easily tracked. In our office we use this paper in the copier laser printer inkjet printer and fax machine. We do not see much difference in the brands such as Staples vs. Hammerhill etc. It may not suit everyone's needs to get a ream of paper at a time and that's fine. Staples delivery is very efficient too and it's a lot easier for their delivery people to carry a box of paper f=than for me.
Paper is fine for what I use it for. Price is great with rebate. Only problem is that the rebate process is annoying. I was able to submit the rebate for one ream of paper but it rejected my attempt to submit a rebate for the second ream.
Occasionally I use lots of paper and always find the staples multipurpose paper brand to feed properly in my ancient printer. It is especially a good deal when they offer the rebate.
I bought this paper because it was on sale. It turned out to be great general purpose paper bright enough for almost all printing project. It turned out to be quite a bargain!
