This paper does fine as far as print quality and absorbing ink fast enough to avoid smudging when I immediately take it off the printer. My printer often grabs extra sheets of this paper. I typically get an extra sheet about every 10 sheets printed. I am in the mortgage business and print 120+ sheets at a time multiple times a day.
I miss the ease of opening the old packaging that was made of plastic. I used to buy this paper because of the packaging. Now it does not matter what brand I buy.
