SHOPPING OF INK CARTRIDGES

I RECENTLY BOUGHT INK FOR MY PRINTER I ORDERED IT ON LINE. THE PRODUCT ARRIVED ON TIME. I WAS NOT CHARGED FOR DELIVERY. I WAS AMAZED TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER YOU CAN ORDERED ANY THING ON LINE AND DELIVERY IS ALWAYS FREE. THIS HAS SAVED MY HUNDRES O DOLLARS BESIDES TO SAVE ME LOTS OF TIME GAS ETC. . . THERE HAS BEEN SOME TIMES WHEN I JUST HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE TO CHECK UP THE PRODUCTS THEY HAVE THE ATTENTION THEY HAVE IN THE STORE IS ALSO GREAT! THEY TAKE CARE OF YOU LIKE IF YOU WERE A VERY IMPORTANT CLIENT.
It's bright yet dark - does that make sense? It's a good blend and served my purposes. It's lightweight so definitely just for regular use - not cardstock or anything.
I was looking for red paper for the Christmas season but found out that the red was simply too dark to be used for printing at least smaller print. It would probably have worked for large bold print. We had the same problem with the green...to dark but at least there was a pale green option available. So we opted for the pink (or "pale red") instead or red. Works fine and it is easy to read the print on it. If you are printing something that needs to be a bit more durable I would recommend a slightly heavier weight paper than this (20 lb.).
I use the colored copy paper to print class announcements calendars and patterns for my Quilt Shop. By using colored paper I can remind the students to check the pink sheet..... It is easy for them to find the correct sheet when looking for a color rather than all white.
We use Staples colored Copy Paper a lot in our business to create handouts for events that we print in-house. This paper performs consistently well in our office printer. There is little if any waste due to mis-fed paper.
