As for as quality and performance this recycled it is hard to tell this is recycled paper. No difference from regular paper I have used. I would recommend this product to anyone who wishes to use it for personal use or also for any business use.
I am a college student and use this paper for all my printing needs. I never worry about smudges or color bleeding. It is the perfect weight for everything I need. I have to print out a lot of articles that eventually get tossed in the trash when assignments are complete and with the cost being so reasonable I am comfortable using it. It is always in stock at my local store and the quality hasn't changed in the 4 years I have been using it. I have never found discolored sheets and the quality runs through the entire ream. Great bargain.
