Staples Multipurpose Paper
on November 19, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I like the paper because it has heft. It tends to lie flat and resists rippling and curling when the humidlty is high which is a problem in my apartment in the summer because I do not have air conditioning. I also appreciate that the paper is multipurpose. It's good for generating manuscripts and reports and is good for producing excellent copies. It also holds color well so it's good for generating and reproducing graphic elements such as charts graphs and color and black and white conversions of slide images.
This paper works great for everyday run of the mill printing. If I need something better I'll put a higher quality paper in the printer for that specific project then replace it with the multi-purpose for the general stuff. I don't expect this to be useable for my higher quality needs. With the coming of the computer age I used to hear about "the paperless society" that would follow. Ha! We're swamped with more paper than ever before but at least with this multi-purpose paper it's a cheaper alternative than "the good stuff".
This paper is bright and of decent enough quality and thickness to allow for it to be printed double sided without curling. Couldn't ask for more since it also comes at a great price!
I love when Staples have their special freebies or in the case of this paper one cent sales. This paper is a nice weight for everyday use and they are careful in handling these individual packs because there are never any bent corners or torn wrapping as I've seen at other stores. Staples' marketing strategy works on me--I always buy more than the 'free with rebate' items. Look also for the % off sales in certain departments. Last week it was 40% off signs I didn't even know I needed. Go Staples.
We always buy Staples Multipurpose Paper to use every where in the office copier fax scanners and of course printers. It never clogs in the machines and always run through smoothly.
