I am the administrator for a law firm and we use this paper for our business. It is professional quality paper. There are no imperfections or spots in the paper it is not completely transparent like some cheaper papers and it stays flat. In other words it is not so thin that it curls up at the sides.
I couldn't possibly be happier with this purchase. The product was nearly 100% as promised with one small disappointment. On the upside every sheet was in fact 8.5" x 14" without flaw. All 500 of them and yes I checked. I tried to check the brightness but don't have the proper equipment on-hand so I will assume that every sheet was 96 bright. So overall a five-star purchase. My only disappointment was that there was no little paper hat in the ream as shown on the packaging. I had to go about my day paper-hatless so I skipped lunch and avoided the break room when coworkers were in there.
