    Love recycled paper

    The paper prints beautifully and colors are so bright. Love that it is recycled paper and saves Mother Earth.

    It's a shame that this paper is so bad; it's a great concept however. I always order the original multipurpose paper, usually go through 5 cases a month. I got stuck buying a large quantity of these because they were on sale. I cannot wait until this supply runs out so I can go back to the regular paper. This stuff curls when it heats up, therefore if you are using it in a copier or laser printer when it gets hot from the toner it will curl, I guarantee it. The problem here is if you are going to print/copy anything more than about 10 pages (especially in the copier where you would sort, staple the corner, 3 hole punch, and so on) they are going to get all shuffled when passing through the paper feed and your order is going to be mixed up. I wasted stacks of paper because of this. If you are looking for scrap paper or something to feed your ink jet, then this will work. If you are looking for decent quality paper that will work in a copier and laser jet, this is not for you. In fact, I had to order two cases of the original multiuse paper and hang signs over the copier and laser jets asking to stock them with the original multiuse rather than the recycled because we will run into problems. The 8 cases of recycled paper I ordered are now used as scrap paper and ink jet supply. Like I said, if you're printing sources use any type of heat (your paper comes out warm) I strongly urge you not to buy this. Also, when compared to the original multiuse paper, it is yellowish.

        Only usuable with inkjet or other low-heat laser printers. Curls. Low brightness does make a difference. The 100% recycled is even worse.

                  • Q:

                    Both Staples' copy papers, regular and 30% recycled, say they are 96 bright white. Is there a difference in the whiteness of the paper? We really like the regular 96 bright so aren't sure about ordering the recycled type. Thank for your help.

                      Yes they are the same brightness.

                    • A:

                      The 30% recycled paper has a yellowish color to it. They both say 96 bright but the original multiuse is whiter. If you load half and half in the printer, you will clearly see a difference between the two.
