Not worth the Money

This paper does the job but quickly curls when using in a laser printer. A $10.00 for a 500 sheet ream I feel it is totally overpriced for what you get and I will be looking into a lower cost alternative.
Prior to this purchase I had been using plastic protector sheets to take the output of my network printer and keep it in a binder. There was two major problems with that solution though: 1) the protector sheets stuck out beyond the covers of most binders; and 2) it took a good deal of time to slide the sheets into the protectors in the first place. A 3-hole punch seemed even MORE cumbersome to me. This 3-hole punched ream of copy paper solved the storage problem by simply loading it into the printer. At last!
I purchase and use 3-hole punched paper on a regular basis because we have two separate businesses. While the data printed on the paper is clear the weight of the paper should be a little heavier. When I put the paper into the binders it is very thin and flimsy making it very easy to bend and tear. If the paper were a little bit heavier it would be a much better product for written reports and illustrations within the report. This would make for easier handling (not have to be so sensitive) as the reports I develop and reproduce are handled by several people for review. The 3 hole-punched paper saves me lots of time from having to do it myself but it needs to be heavier. I would recommend this product to others only if they did not require sturdiness for handling.
This paper arrived just in time in order to help me get started with my school work. with this 3-hole paper I do not have to punch out the holes saving me more time to do my work. This case of 5 000 sheets usually last about two five week classes before needing to reorder along with my ink cartridges and my writing pads in a 12 pack at a time. I have used a couple of different types until .my sales agent told me about this case of three hole paper that already with the hole with this paper I no longer need my 3-hole punch. this paper will fit into my three hole binders making my studies go quicker and helps me save all my chapters for all my classes I am taking in my bachelor's degree.
