I love this paper. I'm not in elementary school and I don't write with a big font so the college rule lets me get a lot more notes on the page. Not only are there more lines because the space between lines is less but the dimensions of the paper are bigger. My notebook paper is the same size as my school handouts so it is easier to staple and have the holes line up.
I purchased 5 packages of 400 sheets each. Why so much now? First of all I know this paper having used it often before. I often sign things with a liquid ink pen and therefore am prone to have such a writing instrument in my pocket. I want paper which is of good quality so that I can use such a pen on it (no blotting or scratchy writing) and this paper is quite suitable for liquid ink as well as a ball point. For general purposes I always use a pencil and being one who edits and polishes what he writes I use an eraser frequently. This paper holds up well under an eraser. So in summary the quality of the paper is such that it meets the needs of my demanding types of writing instruments and the fact that I use a great deal of paper. Second The price especially when it is on sale as it was when I made my recent purchase is vey reasonable. So I use this for all of my note taking and all of my draft writing which I can conveniently keep organized in notebooks which I also bought at Staples.
This was a gift for my granddaughter (8th grade) so I cannot actually evaluate it. However it was the line space she wanted and it was a supply she absolutely needed so I am guessing that qualifies for five (5) STARS!
Everything I have purchased from Staples have been to my satisfaction...from pencils to laptops to desktops and office furniture...never dissatisfied always pleased!! Thank you
