Value is a part of quality. A product that is of good quality and saves the earth is always a good value. Everyone that shops needs to save the green in their wallet. My green in my wallet is on the almost extinct list. This product met the quality standard and the price limit I had set for my business.

There Are Better Choices On The Market

This is one of the worst papers I purchased in many years. The quality control with this paper is simply TERRIBLE! Many sheets contain brown 'flecks' which mar the appearance of any documents. Some sheets appear curled out of the package and I had to bend the sheets before feeding them in my copiers and printers. The paper is one of the dullest papers I seen in a long time and the brightness varies greatly from package to package. Also some sheets in each package contain wrinkles on the edges. This paper doesn't last long at all and fades and 'yellows' sooner than most papers on the market. The text quality is among the poorest I'd seen in any paper. The text appears extremely soft and blurred and smears easily. This paper is somewhat thinner and flimsier than other 20-lb. papers on the market and rips and tears easily if I don't handle it very carefully. Unless I 'fan' this paper and feed it VERY CAREFULLY, this paper will easily jam and/or 'pull doubles' in all my printers and copiers. I must set the ink/toner levels on all my copiers and printers very low when using this paper or else the ink or toner will bleed through very, very easily. The only uses I can think of for this paper is as childrens' doodle paper or paper for 'rough drafts'. It could also be used as typing paper for 'rough drafts'. I definitely do not recommend this paper for any other purposes. There are better choices on the market.

Comments about Staples� 100% Recycled Copy Paper, 8 1/2" x 11", Ream:

I will always lean towards buying recycled but I would not use this paper for anything but daily use. It was hard to erase pencil and pen bled easily through the paper. It seemed thiner than non recycled paper and wrinkled easier than non recycled paper. I haven't had any problems using it in my printer so that's good. Since I will copy on both sides of the paper I've noticed that a lot of the times you can see what's on one side via the other side. When I'm displaying my notes via a document camera in a class room that can be annoying.

Q:
Why is the recycled paper so much more expensive than non-recycled? Does it require more energy to make? If so, the environmental trade-off may not be a good one.

Q:
Is this 100% recycled paper available at a case rate? I believe I bought it that way previously, but it does not seem to be an option at this time. I really prefer this to the 30% as it seems to work more trouble free with my equipment. Thanks for your time.

  In the camp Hill store, I saw it at the case rates. Have not been to your area recently. I see it on the web site [http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesSearch?searchkey=100%25+recycled+cases&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&fromUrl=home] for $54.

  A:
  Have you called Staples customer service to find out? (I assumed any copy paper that could be bought in reams could be purchased by the case.)
  
  You might want to let Staples know that, for you, the 100% recycled works better than the 30%, as that's useful information that might help the company decide to make, and keep available, cases of the paper in stock to be ordered.
  
  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
