Staples Colored Paper
on July 17, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
The Staples Pastel Colored Paper was purchased not so much because of immediate need as opportunity- it came with a full rebate so I made the purchase. I prefer 24 pound paper versus the 20 pound weight that this series comes in but I could not pass up the price. The paper is light enough in color so whatever you print will definitely be seen and this line comes in about a dozen other colors as well. It is always good to have a ream or two of this paper available as you never know when it will be needed.
We use colored paper here at our church every week. We like to vary the colors. The cream comes in handy when we don't need to have a special color for that week like you would for mother's day or father's day. It's a pleasant color to coordinate for our quarterly budget reviews also. Our Pastor has a color printer and sometimes his wife will use that color when she is making the women's ministry newsletter. Cream is a nice replacement for white while letting the black ink show through unencumbered. Cream is also less harsh on our eyes on a bright sunny day.
This paper is just right for running off daily homework for my first graders. The color stands out from basic white yet is light enough that I can read their answers that are done with pencil.
