This paper was used by the AARP Foundation Tax Aide program which prepares and E-files free income taxes for low and middle income taxpayers with preference for the elderly.
I have bought 4 packages in a few weeks. One ream was bent and one was completely wrinkled. I returned it and they were nice enough to give me a new ream. Is the price worth it if packaging is plastic and will not protect the paper.
What can I say it's copy paper. As a commercial printer in a former life I can tell you copy paper has come a long way. This stuff staples has seems good. We use it in our B&W lasers and sometimes inkjets. There are times we run work that requires a case or two and this paper runs consistent from one ream to another to another case. We even run it on our offset presses for quite a few jobs. Low lint good opaqueness for a bond sheet smooth finish (but you still can tell what side is the more finished side). We tend to try to pick it up when it's on sale for free. Even when it's not free it's still a good deal.
