Typical paper

I received a coupon for a discount on paper. There's nothing special here- it's your daily run-of-the-mill white paper. It's a little thinner than some of the more expensive types of white paper that Staple's sells so it's not so great if you like to double-side your printing. This may be attributable to the fact that the paper seems to be a little thinner than other paper. Therefore using fountain pens can cause the ink to bleed onto the other side of the paper (but not through to another sheet). It also is a more dull white than the other brands sold.
I print alot of forms and like the quality of this paper for my use. I highly recomment it to others and see the quality for yourself. I love that the company had a rebate on paper just at the time I needed to refurbish my supply. The paper is of high quality and I prefer using high quality paper in my printer. I have tried other paper and some of them just aren't as good as this brand of paper. Therefore I recommend this to my family and friends and acquaintances to use and try for their needs.
Being a teacher I value every dollar I earn. When Staples offered the $20.00 off coupon for this box of multi-purpose copy paper I made my purchase immediately. It may be the technology age and we are supposedly printing less but there are many items I still need to print. Over the summer I will be working on lesson plan units and will print them ahead of time. I also use many educational sites that offer lesson ideas worksheets and templates. After I create my electronic files I print what I need. I know I won't be running out of paper any time soon and that is good to know.
Used with new Canon inkjet printer that does 2-sided printing (duplex). Had no problems with this paper. Loaded different paper at one point & printer wouldn't print saying the other paper was not compatible for duplex printing.
