Again. Paper is paper. Price in this economy bcomes the issue. Ex: I never buy "recycled" go green junk its more to reproduce and the consumer pays for it. I may make youy "feel good" if that is important.
If you can get the multipurpose paper in the cellophane wrapper - it is the best. The package opens with the easy open tab and the paper is better quality. The multipurpose paper in the paper wrapper is not as good.
Staples did some cost-cutting but kept the price the same. That's unfortunate. The outer wrapper no longer has an easy-open pull tab which exposed 1/8 of the ream of paper perfect for storing in a paper tray without taking the wrapper off. That way you knew which product to re-order when paper ran out and the wrapper kept paper dust-free and in place for the duration of use. To simulate the old easy-tear pull tab I had to cut around the ream of paper and tear away a portion of the wrapper. A little awkward and the ream of paper got a little misaligned in the process but it worked. Thanks for nothing Staples.
