Twice i have gotten this for very cheap or free. It is pretty cheap thin paper. But that is fine for our purposes - especially for my kids who create a LOT of art!
I buy this 5-ream "case" all the time at Staples. I can carry it from the store to the car easily -- whereas I cannot carry the full 10-ream carton anymore. This is the perfect size for me!
You can put in the printer you can put it in the copier you could even take out your crayons and draw on it. Hey use it to write the next great American novel.
Its White flat 8 and 1 half inch wide and 11 inches long and you can print on it. It can also be 11 inches wide by 8 1/2 inces long if you hold it the other way. By far the bestest whitest paper ever. I did not purchase the extra maintenance agreement but that's just because I like to take risks. I haven't even opened it yet.
Copy paper is copy paper. This paper produces a clean image and nice bright 92 color. With the sale price and easy rebate the net cost amounted to only the sales tax. I didn't need any paper for myself but with the deal Staples had going I decide to buy the short case anyway and then I donated it to our church's business office. The church got some needed office supplies I got a nice warm feeling for doing a good deed with out incurring much of a cost and Staple got me into their store again. I guess it was a win win win situation.
