This case was a sale item of a low-level commodity paper. Note that it's a short case; only 8 reams. Calculate your cost per ream before popping open the champagne to celebrate your shopping acumen. This sheet is thin which means more show-through if you're using it for inkjet printing. It also means more potential jams if you're printing double-sided in a laser printer. That said we print a lot less than we used to are fairly confident our old HP won't shred too much of it and expect this case to last about a year if not more.
