Good product. Good price
You can never have too much printer paper in my opinion, and Staples made it easy and affordable to stock up.

Everything Was Just Perfect
It's hard to rate paper and ink, so I'll tell you that the paper was boxed in a protective manner, so it was all nice and smooth and ready to use. The ink went into the printer and started working immediately. No problems!

Staples Multi-use Copy Paper (carton)
I use a lot of paper in my business for copies and printed (on paper) photos. This was a great buy. I've used this paper for years (it works well) and the sale price was excellent, plus free shipping. With business expenses increasing every day, I feel like Staples was helping me out!

Ratings and Knowledge Matter
We discovered the hard way that ratings and reviews matter. Unfortunately, Staples Customer Service Reps are only trained to handle generic "I don't like this." issues and know little about the products they sell. Using ratings and reviews - we picked this box of paper to be our test box for our copier/printers at our office.
