We love Staples and the Lafayette store is great!: The staff is always very friendly and helpful. As a home-based business and premier member I need supplies weekly and rely on this store fully. Also it is great for my kids' school supplies. I just learned you are closing! Say it isn't so!!! Very sad. There is no other Staples that is convenient to our school commute or my office. A bunch of customers were wondering aloud about this change and what could headquarters be thinking!
The paper itself is of good quality and works well in all our printers except the paper packaged near the corners. The shrink wrap plastic did not protect the corners very well and whether due to just the shrink wrap or if the whole package was dropped permanent wrinkles were put in some the corners. This caused printing problems.
Good general purpose copy paper. I wouldn't use it for presentations or reports to my clients but for the copier...works good enough and when on sale even better. I usually buy the blue box paper from Staples near me for my general duty printing but caght this on sale with rebate so it worked out to be free after rebate so no complaints here from me. The color appears ever so slightly darker than it should especially given it is rated at 92 bright....when I add it to a stack in my printer next to my Hammermill 92 bright you can see a difference...
I use a lot of 11 x 17 paper for my day to day work and this paper from Staples is the best choice for those of us who go through reams of this stuff a week. I have never had any problems with this paper jamming a printer or having low quality prints. If you buy cases like I do be sure to stretch first because they are heavy but the nice folks in the store will bring them to your car or truck if you ask nicely. I have used some of the other premium brands for this type of paper and aside from the texture there is no difference.
