For me most multipurpose and copier paper is all the same. I have never bought a ream of paper and been either thrilled or disappointed. This paper is just as good as any other. I got it on sale where it was free after rebate which is a great deal. And Staples' easy rebates are a lot less hassle than many other rebate programs. However the regular price at the time of this writing was a bit higher (2 or 3 bucks) than some the big-box department stores. It seems to me that an office supply store which probably sells more paper than department stores should have a better price than the other guys; especially on their own brand of paper. Sometimes it does but not all of the time.
It ain't papyrus but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If it were papyrus I'd have to make it by hand and it wouldn't go through my ink jet and laser printers as smoothly as Staples Multipurpose Paper. In fact it probably wouldn't go through at all. Staples paper is useful for a lot more than printing - there's origami sketching paper airplanes and it wouldn't surprise me if papers could find their way into electronics applications - my as backup insulation or in capacitors. I'll bet you could even treat Staples paper with a solution to stain them and created an inexpensive "stained glass" effect. Oh and they work fine in my laser jet too.
It's economy multipurpose paper. Being the Staples named brand it's less expensive than some of the other brands. Staples often has coupons to pick these up for 1 cent after rebate. This is good multipurpose paper as advertised. I use it a lot.
Case of paper was full price but with a very good rebate Paperwork for rebate was easily completed On line and received within a reasonable Time period. Been using the copy paper in Epson copier And have yet to have a paper jam. Product works fine.
