I'm no connoisseur of paper but I can say this is as good as any I've bought. It's a good thickness and the color is as white as you'd expect. We use it for general printing as well as scratch paper for the kids. It works great in both our Canon inkjet and HP laserjet printers. I especially like it when Staples runs their rebate promotions that bring the price down to next-to-nothing. In terms of room for improvement I would love for this to be 100% recycled. I'd pay a premium for that but only to a certain extent.
This is the quintessential Staples brand product. It is consistently good it comes at a very reasonable price and it is alway available. As someone who prints a ream of paper a month and then some I need to have a reliable source for it. And this always results in well-printed camera-ready pages--no smudging even printing no curling even though the printer becomes quite hot in the process. I would recommend Staples Multipurpose Paper to anyone who needs it for professional purposes.
