At Sunspot Solar Energy Systems, we are concerned about our environment, When I saw that Staples carried recycled paper products, I was excited. Now we can apply our values to our office paper. The white value is the same as regular paper so you and your customers will not be able to tell the difference in quality. Yes, it costs a little more but it takes a step in going green and helping our environment. Go ahead, give it a try!

This is among the dullest, thinnest, and flimsiest papers I purchased in the last few years. Compared to other copy papers, this paper appears more gray than white and the text appears unclear and 'soft'. I also noticed tiny brown flecks in each sheet of this paper and the brightness from package to package varies greatly but is generally very dull and gray compared to most other copy papers on the market. I had to fan this paper and feed it in my printer very, very carefully or else it will jam very easily and/or pull 'doubles'. I also had to handle this paper with care since it tears and rips easily. The only suitable uses for this paper are as typing paper and as 'doodle paper' for children. There are better choices available for most copying and printing purposes.
Comments about Staples� 30% Recycled Copy Paper, 8 1/2" x 11", Ream:
I primarily use this product for work, printing and making copies. As I am trying to fax and/scan it sometimes jams (meaning it does not feed through the printer without guidance. Not sure if paper or my machine (in which I bought at Staples about 6yrs ago).
