It is very usable paper that is heavier (22 lbs) and brighter (98 brightness) than paper usually used for copying on consumer printers. I have used the paper for years and years (upward of 20 years) and pay the premium price because of a personal preference for brighter white paper. The printed pager looks "crisper." I like the 22 lbs paper vs. the standard 20 lbs since my experiences with home printers makes the paper less vulnerable to clogging. If it does clogged the printer the paper is significantly more durable and is usually easier to pull out of the rollers without tearing. Well worth the cost.
