I love that this product is not too dark. So many times I have a hard time reading what has been printed when it is on paper that is too dark.

At first I was not sure the color would work but I really like the look it gives the finish projects.

Paper Curls After Printing
on October 10, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I've been using this paper for years. It's never been good. But at some point you've had enough and decide it's time to move on. My experience with Staples colored pastel papers has not been great. The colors are nice and the paper is undeniably paper. The compliments stop there at one huge sticking point: Without fail the paper curls up at the horizontal edges after printing. I've flipped and reversed the paper in our printer's feeder tray. I've tried different printers. It doesn't matter. It's just not durable paper. The output we use these yellow sheets for get filed in hanging file folders. The curls guarantee these sheets slide down the interior pocket to form a reasonable facsimile of a rolled up newspaper which naturally further enhances the curling problem to the point you just say "forget about it!" and pull the stock of sheets and sit something heavy atop them for a week in the hopes they'll flatten out. Once more paperwork gets married to these sheets they ultimately end up fine. But as solitary sheets they're flimsy and the post-printer curling is just not worth the slight savings over better quality papers. I STRONGLY recommend avoiding this annoying paper particularly if you'll be filing the output away for your records.
