You know what? I looked at this paper and thought to myself. Bah! Too expensive, even if it is "HP brand." I ended up buying it because I was too lazy to drive 30 minutes (each way) to Staples. Well . . . this is some good paper it turns out!
I use it on my laser printer and it works fine and has never jammed. It has a soft feel, as if it is coated, but not like true laser paper. It absorbs ink (good for inkjet) and you can write in pencil, pen, or highlighter on it, but it works VERY well on laser as well. It is fairly tear resistant as well (you know . . . for paper). Ultimately it comes down to this. I like this paper a LOT better than the cheap stuff I normally buy. The colors look vibrant--but a lot of that depends on your printer of course. This is what you call a "bright white" paper. You can see the difference when you hold it up to plain "copy paper," which has a grainier feel (less pressed).
So, was it worth the price? I think so. I am still only 60% through my ream. This has lasted me a lot longer than I thought, and as compared to other papers on Amazon it really is a bargain. If you have Prime, or you spend enough to get free shipping, it will save you a trip, and other than something handmade (paper), I doubt you can find anything better. HP nailed it with this product.
