Save on printer ink

I work for a fine art paper company and teach materials and techniques to artist and art students. A big characteristic of paper is the sizing. The amount of sizing determines the amount of absorption. This is very important when using ink markers and Watercolors. If the color is absorbed by the paper the result is a dull color. The same goes for inkjet printing. When buying paper for a printer it is normal to buy the cheapest paper you can find but it really defeats the purpose when you want a good copy. Inkjet paper has more sizing and therefore more ink sets on the surface rather than soaking into the paper. When ink soaks into the paper colors are dull and you use more ink. Using an inkjet paper not only gives you better color saturation you will find that you use less ink.
This 24# paper is a great choice for times you need a little heavier weight paper. When I do a newsletter the photos do not bleed through as in 20 or 22# stock. It feeds smoothly with only a rare double feed in my HP printer and I can print on the reverse side almost immediately even with dense ink coverage since it doesn't curl as much as lighter stock. The bright white (98) helps the pictures to look sharp without having to use coated or photo paper. Perfectly acceptable for a quality newsletter!
Love the weight of this paper. My printer never tries to pull more than one sheet through like it does with the lighter weight paper. Love the feeling of paper with some substance to it instead of feeling like newsprint. Holds up to constant use in a 3-ring binder without using reinforcement tab to keep it from tearing.
This is high quality paper. Thick. Holds black and color ink well through my HP laser jet. Home delivery from online ordering is very fast. No complaints.
This is a good quality product. The paper is bright white and it is rare that I ever get an unusable piece. The edges are never bent. I recommend tbis product.
