My prints look Ok until I touch them. It seems the ink does not get absorbed in the paper and even the slightest contact - like sorting the pages creates smears. The paper feels extra hard to the touch too. I was using the "HP Office" paper before with no problems. The attached picture shows how my shopping list looked after being carried in my pocket. The ream showed the HP Color Lok symbol on it and that is the reason I bought it. May be I got a ream that was at the end of the allowable specs... Two stars because it is bright white and I can use it for normal writing.
This paper is on a par with other brands of high-quality paper. I like it a lot and I am happy to be able to choose a lighter weight for a cheaper price.
Feels Solid and Price Competitive for This Segment

Was skeptical about quality but turns out to be what I wanted. I am picky about paper and this is just as white and solid as I could ask for. Price is also competitive when compared to identical products.
