The paper was for a business use. It was redquested by the postoffic that we use this weight of paper. I searched many stores for this product and finally found it in your store. athough it was quite a bit more expensive than the previous paper i was using. since i am using it for newsletters and required by the post office to use this weight of paper i will have to continue to use it. most likely have to buy it by the case since now it is what will have to be used. It did seem to make it through the mailing process quite well.since i had one mailed to me .
I got this paper because I (stupidly) thought that the higher quality paper would be better than the standard paper. And maybe it is but its also thicker and heavier which means that its bulkier and harder to staple together. I had to go back to the cheaper paper so I could actually print something 100 pages or more. Maybe its great for resumes are something that should only be 1 page in total but its not designed for use as a workhorse product in a daily use printer.
I user the heavy weight paper because it allows the documents you are printing to have the look and feel of a professional document. Also using heavier weight paper helps to extend the life of your printers.
