As I use this paper for dividers & headers in my reports to clients I prefer a pastel color and stout stock so it will withstand many page turns accept ink via the HP Officejet printer and add color and perceived value to the overall report / presentation. Another important characteristic is the uniform quality control of Staples' branded papers. I realize the contract is awarded to the lowest bidder but Staples maintains acceptable quality control. It's the same color texture and "ability to go through my printers" throughout the year and from year to year. Good job Staples!
I have been using mostly Staples brand papers for all of my projects for many years. I usually buy the Staples brand product if they have a comparable item rather than name brand products. The results are the same and the savings is great and if they happen to have the product you need or will need soon on sale or with a rewards rebate it just sweetens the pot a little more. The rewards and rebate programs work well and require minimum effort to participate in and they keep you informed of the progress.
