This paper runs almost FIVE Times the amount of regular copy paper. I have purchased at least 10 reams of this color and the lilac. Both colors in multiple reams from different stores have had folded sheets randomly throughout the reams and neither feed very well thru any copier or printer that we have. There is a constant jamming with multiple sheets feeding in multiple machines in multiple locations over the course of buying it by the ream from different locations over a 2-3 year period.
We use this color for outlines for our audiences notes. The color stands out yet is light enough to easily see what is written. Staples brand is always reliable. Sometimes I am able to get their colored paper on sale. This time I used my handy Five dollar bonus which I received from writing a previous recommendation. The workers at staples are always very helpful. I like to check out the clearance sections also. I found some great bulletin board edging one time. I should have gotten more they are great!
I and a coauthor are working on a book of recipes from my grandparent's bakery and this is the paper and color we've chosen for our manuscript. The paper is a good quality--not too heavy nor is it too thin--and the color sets off the typeface and color we've selected as well as our photographs nicely. Certainly you could go with white too but the cream colored paper is easy on the eyes and adds a warmth that's just right for a book of pastries cakes and cookies. I highly recommend Staples Pastel Colored Copy Paper as a great product for any kind of creative project and as a great value as well.
