It is not easy to find college ruled paper in the 8 1/2" x 11" size. The weight of the paper and the strength of the printing are the two features that I like best. Also the price is very acceptable. Staples can always be counted upon to carry this size paper. I like this size because it files easily with the other papers and forms that I use for business and also personally. This paper is also useful for the tutoring that I do of middle and high school students. The only thing I found objectionable was the strange ruling at the bottom of the pages but one can live with that. I recently bought some of this kind of paper from one of Staples competitors because I was close and really needed the paper. The quality was very inferior in the two areas that are important to me - weight and darkness of printing. Thanks Staples for carrying the kind I like. In editing this I find that the pros that I entered got scrambled but this comment area should be clear enough.
I mean it's 400 sheets of quality paper. It lasts me a long time and the paper actually feels nice. I'm the type of person that is really picky about the paper I write on but this paper is the best.
This product was an easy choice to purchase. Since I was already in the store and the product was in plain sight I reasoned that it made more sense to purchase the item at the store rather than drive to another store and buy it at a better price. Had I been going to a different store I would have most likely waited to purchase the product at some other retail store. However since I was not going to another retail store I chose to spend a little bit more and avoid the headache of going to another store.
I love ordering my supplies and supplies for my daughter who is going to college through Staples. I can always count on quality merchandise and very fast delivery. I find buying bulk package items for my daughter is more convenitent than having to make several trips to the store. I am also never disappointed in the quality of Staples supplies. Thier prices are always reasonable and If I ever do have any questions I can always count on the employees of my local Staples store to help me in any way they can. Thank you Staples!
The thickness of the paper is just right . As for transperancy it is faboulous for any mechanical pencil does well with ball point pens but I wouldn't use a highlighter or a permanent marker on it if I plan to use the backside.
