The pastel paper I purchased had uneven color and splotches on it obviously from the manufacturing. The paper from my two previous purchases also had imperfections I did not find until I was home and did not have time to return. If I ever buy paper from Staples again I won't leave store until I have opened the package and inspected it carefully.
This past delivery of 10 reams of blue paper have caused many problems in feeding/jamming in printer and copy machine. All other paper good quality and have had very few minor problems ov er the past years.
