I needed a paper which does not bleed color and minimize see thru at the same time. Inks dry relatively fast and the paper remains crisp. I've always used the premium brands and decided to give this Staples paper a try.
I stumbled across this paper when my wife bought some in a local Staples. It has the feel and durability that I hadn't been able to find in any of the normal papers I'd used. It is bright white and it runs through the printer easily and without any hangups. And when it's put together in short presentation it holds its strength and provides a superb impression to those who receive it. (even if the substance of the presentation is weak!! :) ) I went out of my way to find it and I highly recommend it to the small and large business person alike.
I used to use copy paper or multi-purpose paper in my printers. I always had problems with paper jams and picking up two or three pages at a time. That has all stopped since I switched to Staples Inkjet paper.
Want to impress? Use this paper instead of the cheap stuff from the copy machine. This paper has great weight a quality finish and makes colors and text "pop" when you read it. I printed my slides from an online course I am taking and my boyfriend had to read them just because they looked so great. So if this paper can get an old guy to read a bunch of genetics papers imagine how it can get your resume or your own presentations noticed! Yes it does cost more than the cheap stuff. Wait for it to go on sale and buy a bunch. Once you do though let me warn you you will never want to go back to dull paper again.
I began buying this paper when my husbands eyesight was failing. He went thru a lot of paper as he printed out many things to read directly. When he passed away I went to a cheaper grade and was so unsatisfied after using this one for quite awhile that I'm back and happy to pay the higher cost.
Over the past 15+ years that I have been in Direct Sales as a BeautiControl consultant I have printed invoices product descriptions sale flyers labels postage etc. on printer/copy paper. I tried using the cheaper 20 lb. paper but I got frustrated when the paper jammed up. Or more aggravating two or three pages would be pulled up and totally mess up a multiple-page report. When I began using the heavier paper I don't have to watch over a report printing. I have owned mostly HP printers and they prefer the good stuff too.
