Good quality paper

January 16, 2016

I usually buy 2500-count boxes of paper from Wal-Mart, but I didn't have time to worry about getting to a store when I ordered this product. After using it for several print jobs now, I can say it feels exactly the same as the paper I previously bought at Wal-Mart. The quality seems very good. The only thing I found weird was that this box has six reams of 400, totaling to 2400 pieces of paper, which is a little less than what I usually buy when I restock. However, at this price, the difference isn't important as it is still a good deal compared to my local Wal-Mart. I used this for printing a plain-text textbook, some resumes, and many school assignments, and all of those looked great.

Not always the same paper when you click reorder :|

December 23, 2018

I bought this paper twice. I used my dash button. The price did increase from the first time I purchased this box of paper. Not an issue there. What I'm pissed off about it that the paper quality is bad... The nicest word I can think of. The paper I received last time was a different weight then what is currently in this box. With the other paper could print on both sides without seeing through to the other side. This paper you can see through, curls and warps. It does not lay flat because of how thin it is. I'm sure this works great for some people. I need it in the classroom and it is distracting for the kids to see the ink from the other side. Now I don't know what I had received the last time. I don't know if that box was a mistake or if this box was the mistake. The packaging on this one matches the description. I have used up the other paper so I don't have any packaging to compare to beyond the "reorder this item" feature here on Amazon. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I'm very frustrated! I will have to use twice the amount of paper because I can't do the two-sided prints.

Doubles up every fifth or sixth copy - wasteful.

January 25, 2018

Size: 3 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

Same price as the office supply stores, but through Amazon, it was delivered right to the door. Used a ream over the past week with no jams or problems. Otherwise, right size, white, plain old copy paper.
*Update and downgrade - used about 300 sheets, two pieces of paper go through about every 5th or 6th copy on my old HP2100 printer. This hasn't happened before, and I don't think it's the printer.

As with Ice Cream and coffee to name a few ...

Size: 6 Reamstyle name: Small PackVerified Purchase

As with Ice Cream and coffee to name a few, this company along with other paper companies is practicing deceptive advertising/sells.They are selling 400 sheets of paper as a "REAM" when in the past the ream measured 450 to 600 sheets.
"This ream of 500 sheets (20 quires of 25 sheets) is also known as a 'long' ream, and is gradually replacing the old value of 480 sheets, now known as a 'short' ream. Reams of 472 and 516 sheets are still current, but in retail outlets paper is typically sold in reams of 500." unk source!
No more shall I pontificate on this subject.

GOOD PAPER. TENDS TO COLLAPSE AFTER PRINTING

July 30, 2017

Size: 1 Reamstyle name: Small PackVerified Purchase

PAPER IS BRIGHT WHITE. IT ACCEPTS PRINTING EASILY. THE ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT I HAVE VERSUS THE PRINTER PAPERS I HAVE BEEN USING IS THAT THIS ONE JUST COLLAPSES ON BOTH SIDE OF THE TRAY HOLDER AFTER PRINTING. MY HP PRINTER HAS A SINGLE HOLDER IN THE MIDDLE. BOTH SIDE OF THE PAPER JUST HANG DOWN ON EACH SIDE.

Fine paper, terrible wrapping.

November 12, 2018

Size: 10 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

I tried to find a way to contact International Paper to give them feed back, but on their 'contact us' page of the web site there was no way to contact them that I could find. The outer wrap of the reams is plastic, and very difficult to open. I used a razor knife to at least get into it a little, and every time I tried to tear it open a little bit of plastic came off--it ended up in about 8 pieces. Finally, more razor knife assistance and struggling, I got the paper out. It shouldn't be this difficult AND why not use something that biodegrades faster, like, uh, paper?

Be careful which product you are ordering

Size: 8 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

I have used Hammermill Copy Plus for many years with great success, and that is what I thought I was ordering. Hammermill Copy, which I ordered by mistake, is okay, but a big step down for no significant difference in price.

Misleading product description

January 15, 2018

Size: 3 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

I am very disappointed to find that "20 lb." paper (which means that 3 reams should weigh over 60 lbs.) is more like 10 to 15 pounds. The only reason why I didn't give it fewer stars is that I haven't yet used it and it may work satisfactorily. I think that the company should be honest about the properties of their product.

Not the best.

October 12, 2018

Size: 8 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

I thought I was getting a case of 10 but it is only 8. My bad for not paying attention when ordering. The paper is thinner than I'm used to and not as white. Jammed in my scanner. Seems okay for the laser printer. I wouldn't buy it again.

Good value, can jam in printer

November 8, 2019

Size: 8 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

This is the best value paper on Amazon, and beats the value I found at the local Staples (where I would have to transport it home myself). It is bright, sturdy, and prints with good quality and almost no smearing. I deducted one star because it jams in my printer more than some other papers have. Also, the boxes occasionally show up torn or ripped.

See through

September 4, 2019

Size: 3 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

this paper is see through, I bought it because I needed paper to print stuff at home to study with so its not something I'm using for professional purposes but when i compare it to the printer paper from the library that printer paper has such a better quality its thicker than this paper, this paper i can see my notes on the other side, not great paper if you want to print on both sides or print something that looks "professional" but thankfully I'm only using this stuff at home

If it wasn't for the plastic wrapped reams I'm sure we would've had a good amount of lost or damaged paper

August 5, 2017

Size: 10 Reamstyle name: 8.5x11Verified Purchase

Found the box corners broken and partially open when delivered on our doorstep. If it wasn't for the plastic wrapped reams I'm sure we would've had a good amount of lost or damaged paper. Not sure at what point during the process the damage occurred. They probably should've used a hand truck or something when delivering.
