I am using 11" x 17" paper a lot for my work and as well for my home office usually if you are using too much of this paper-size it would be much economical if you buy packs of 4 or 5 reams. This time I wanted something quick so I stopped by staple's and grabbed a ream. In nutshell Staple's brand 11" x 17" paper has: Very competitive price (especially when you buy in packs of 4 to 5 reams) Good quality (not the best in the world but much above average) Mostly jam free Has nice texture whiteness brightness and of course contain recycled (paper) percentage.
I bought this paper because it was on sale but it is only 92 bright. I like to order 96 or 98 bright if I can much better quality. However it goes through the copy machine just fine and everything is readable it's just that the clarity isn't quite as good. I got the best I could for the budget at the time and am not unhappy. If you want to order this paper you will not have any problems with it. I have found all staples products to be good and cost effective when I need them to be and the budget requires it.
This paper is a great value. We were very pleased when we used it for our quarterly newsletter and it came out looking great. We will use this paper again in the future for making posters or other newsletters.
