I buy lots and lots of paper from Staples but like this ream I always wait for 'specials.' This ream cost 1 cent after you do the rebate which you can do on-line (which is what I do) or by mail. It's very easy to do any type of Staples rebate on-line. The secret is to be sure and do it. I've never had a problem with getting a rebate from Staples regardless of the product. The key to buy (especially paper) is to follow the advertisements and especially the special deals. Be sure you are Staples regards person. You don't have to have a Staples credit card just a Staples rewards number.
Pretty good quality paper. I have been switching between this and hammer mill but I prefer staples brand. Ink stays well and doesn't smudge as bad as some other papers I've used.
