Quality dropped!

I've been happily buying Staples Premium Injet Paper in the orange wrapper for years same code number. I'm told this is the same product just different purple wrapping. However it definitely has a poorer finish. Using the same printer software and settings the ink now bleeds to where images are poor and small fonts are often unreadable.
I have used this paper for several years now in my small business. I create handouts for my sewing classes that I teach. The paper prints well in color as well as black and white. The students love the quality! I highly reccommend it!
We print our own literature and this is the best we've found to make it look professional bright and the weight is perfect. It holds the ink well and no smudging.
I ordered the 1/2 case from the image of the Inkjet paper in the orange pack which is what I've been using and am totally satisfied with. What I received was the Inkjet/Laser in the blue wrapping. I find it does not hold the ink b/w or color when it covers a large area it comes out damp unlike the paper designed for inkjet. Both papers are smooth and clean. It's the inability to produce a pretty much dry page that bothers me.
I would not recommend this product. The printer was inexpensive but the ink ran out often and it was expensive to replace. It cost more for the ink then printer. I have a small office and paid more in ink in the first year then I pd. for the printer.
