I believe I first noticed a difference in the packaging. I didn’t have to get the letter opener scissors or a steak knife to get to the paper! I simply inserted one finger in the fold on the end pulled and the paper was there to be inserted into my printer. I can load about a 3/4” thickness of paper into my printer at a time I somehow noticed that the paper seemed more cooperative than other brands I have used......not only did it very gracefully find a comfortable seat in the computer tray but it also seemed brighter! I’ve now used 2 of 5 packages and would definitely recommend this paper Thanks for a quality product A happy user in NC
