I don't know why everyone doesn't use recycled paper. It's good for the earth. You would never know it was recycled and works great. I was a recycling co-ordinator and just hate to waste paper.
I have been purchasing 24lb weight printer paper for years. I use the heavier weight 24lb for proposals and presentations. I took a chance and bought this 24lb paper and it is definitely not the heavier 24lb that I've used in the past. Keep in mind that this is the first time I've used the 50% recycled type. I won't be buying it again. I'll have to go back to my previous brand of 24lb printer paper.
