Like the paper not so much the price for one ream but all I could afford that day. Saw that it went on sale the next day or maybe 2...bummer but over and done with.
After trying many different manufacturers and different brightnesses I came to the conclusion that I actually don't see much difference in my usual daily prints. I like the fancier brands for thing like photos or holiday letters but this is sufficient for what I need on an everyday basis. The only gripe I have is the packaging. Every ream if not handled carefullly will bust open at the seams. I guess it's a small trade off for the low prices at Staples. I would definitely purchase this item again.
