HammermillPrinter Paper, Premium Multipurpose Paper 24 lb, 8.5 x 11 - 5 Ream (2,500 Sheets) - 97 Bright, Made in the USA, 105810C

This paper is more expensive than regular 20 lb office paper but it has a quality feel and is thicker, and it doesn't jam up in copiers. Worth the extra cost if you're looking for better-than-cheapo paper.

A fair price for quality paper. Used with a laser printer (B & W only). My preferred brand when the price is right.

The thickness is true to weight. The color is bright, making printing perfect.

high quality paper with thickness. Bight white.

I used to work from home and so I would order paper in larger quantities for business use. So after I stopped working, I had a large leftover supply from my last business order, which has lasted me an amazing four more years. I was using Staples brand copy paper, 92 bright and 20lb weight and had used it for years. I believe it's their most basic/cheapest, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. Anyway, it's served my purpose fine, I've never had any complaints. But now I am no longer working and use less paper, so I decided to price-shop smaller quantities this time around. I found this Hammermill Premium Multi-Purpose here on Amazon on sale, with an Amazon "instant-clip" coupon, and that's what sold me, it happened to work out to be the best price for 5 realms that I could find. I suspect it is not usually the cheapest, I think I just got lucky. Already as I write this review a few days after ordering it, I can see the price has increased.I've never been picky about "brightness" or "weight" in the past; in fact, I didn't even know what I was using for brightness and weight until I checked my old package before ordering this out of curiosity. So I think it's important to point out, that I am apparently not very paper picky. But here's what I observed with this slightly more premium paper. I compared a sheet of this Hammermill 97 bright/24lb with my old Staples 92 bright/20 lb side by side. I could see the Hammermill is definitely brighter. Feeling-wise, I couldn't feel a huge difference. I 'guess' the Hammermill feels heavier/smoother - but not by much, the brightness difference seemed more noticeable for me personally. I printed a small graphic clip-art of a rainbow with a pot of gold on the old and the new paper, just to see how the color comparison would be. Sure enough, the colors DO look better on the Hammermill 97 bright. Not a huge difference, but if you print things with color that are important or if you do color-oriented printing-type crafts often, then this does seem to make the colors look better, they just seem to 'pop' a little more against the brighter background. Not drastically better, but noticeably better.That said, I personally rarely print color graphics or photos, I do 98% or more of my printing as basic black-ink letters, articles, etc., so I don't care too much about color appearance. As far as jamming: I've personally never had any jamming issues with the 20lb Staples paper, in fact, I'm not sure I've ever had a single jamming issue with it that I can recall. So while this 24lb weight is said to jam less, it seems to me a moot point. I use a home model Brother brand inkjet printer, if that helps. So my walk-away is this: If you do a lot of color printing and care about colors being more sharp, this does seem to be a nice brightness for that. Weight and quality-wise, it feels very similar to my Staples 20lb paper; slightly better, but not enough difference for me to care. So for me personally, next time I need to order, I'd see if this was on sale and if so, I would definitely order it again, it's nice paper. But if I saw 92 bright/20 lb pack of 5 reams of another brand that was cheaper, I'd be perfectly content with that too and would prefer the savings, given that I do so little color printing.

Great paper

I bought this paper to use in my monochrome laser printer. Anything other than basic printing I would get 28lb+ paper. No paper issues at all so far.

A great value. I highly recommend it.
