Slightly less bright than my prior paper, in quantity this is cheaper, with no degradation in quality
Most of us, unless we are printing out resumes, or special letters, really buy the cheapest printer paper. Occasionally that bites us with poor finishes and jams. Mostly I have asked store staff, what is the best buy, just expensive enough for reasonable quality but cheap enough to be economical. Mind you, if I had important documents, I might go out and buy a ream unique to that usage.Well here is the last economical ream I bought: Recommended to me by Office Depot staff (they are 2 miles away). Most likely because this had 125 pages free and it was comparable to the one I had in hand both price and quality, minus the extra sheets.Office Depot 24946178**** SKU 35854 98965**** Multipurpose paper**** Bright white**** Preferred**** 625 sheets (125 free sheets) special sale**** 20 pound**** 96 Brightness**** 8.5 x 11”**** Made in USA**** 99.99% no jam**** ColorLok Technology**** Faster drying time**** Bolder Blacks**** Vivid ColorsLooking at their website today,the cost for this ream is: $8.29 (for only 500 sheets, no current special).10 reams are $57.99. I’m assuming the website and store costs are the same.However they do have a 30% recycled paper version as well, but it carries an FSC certificationBlurb from the website:Meets the global standards of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). Forest Stewardship Council US-0081. FSC Certification ensures responsible use of forest resources and provides assurance that the fiber in this paper comes from forests that are well-managed to protect biodiversity and the livelihoods of the people that depend on those forests.**** Green Seal®-certified to ensure lower impact on the environment and human health.This paper too is 92 Brightness and is also $8.29 a ream.This reviewed paper is:Amazon basicsSKU 41710 1902330% Recycled Multipurpose Copy PaperNo name equivalent to Bright WhiteNo name equivalent to Preferred500 sheets20 pound92 Brightness8.5 x 11”Made in USA30% PCWI don’t see any mention of FSC certified.Cost for this ream is: $8.49: 10 reams are $49.99Since I have Prime there is no real shipping cost.Clearly the Amazon one has a significant discount if you use a lot of paper and the brightness difference is not an issue. These are not apples to apples.Above, I looked up a 30% recycled material paper on Office Depot and it was essentially the same cost as the regular paper, but with also the reduced brightness.On first look. Office Depot non-30% recycled paper is clearly whiter. Would have noticed even if I did not see the difference in Brightness. Assuming this may be due to the recycled material.PrintingI see no appreciable difference in printing, either in adherence, or quality. As I said, there is a subtle difference in Brightness. If that does not bother you and you buy 10 reams at a time, thisAmazon basics 30% Recycled Multipurpose Copy Paper is a better buy at $8 cheaper for 10 reams. Basically 1 free ream. For me who buys a ream at a time, less of a deal, they appear equal.UPDATE: Posting a photo to show the difference in Brightness between the Amazon paper at 92 and OfficeMax at 96. It's subtle but visible.
