Hammermill Paper, Premium Laser Print Paper 8.5 x 11 Paper, Letter Size, 3 Hole, 24lb Paper, 98 Bright, 1 Ream / 500 Sheets (107681R)

Nice quality and weight. Very bright white paper. Easy and smooth to print on. Holds the ink well. Decent price if you just need one ream. Can be used for multiple projects.

Been printing pdfs with full pages of colored backgrounds, and the paper handles it just fine. Images are vibrant, has a slightly glossy texture, and pre-punched holes are convenient. If the whole page is full of ink on one side, moderate curling happens, and should be expected with any paper. Doesn't curl if both pages are equally full.

This is a good, bright paper. The surface is more slick than most inkjet papers I've used but my printers do not have a problem with this. It's a good value and the only 3-hole paper I can find priced about the same as my regular papers—a major convenience. Thickness for 24 bond is not quite that of my other papers but it's not as thin as 22 so I have no problem. Letter size is accurate and easy to use. No jamming issue but my Brother printer can drop pages when it gets too warm so I do not let it print more than 150 pages at a time without a rest.

GREAT VALUE. The specfifications I was looking for: Bright, strong (no tearing up in printers), not too light and not to heavy. and a good price. Hammerhil hit the nail right on.......... and is not over the hill. I like this paper. It should always be on sale. it it would be........... I always would buy it!

Update: I contacted Amazon about the poor shipping and they made it right. I've revised my star rating to 5 stars to reflect my opinion of the undamaged product. Still, beware of the real risk of losing part of the product to shipping damage. This is a hard product review for me to write, because the part of this order that arrived without damage is exactly what I wanted. The hole punches are neat and even, and the quality of the paper is good. It's easy to run through a laser printer. I really want to buy this product again - 5 stars for the portion of the product that was usable! However, less than half of the ream came undamaged, and about half of the damaged pages are too damaged to run through a printer. The other half is technically usable but not for the purpose I bought this paper. Many of the reviews mentioned potential shipping damage, so I accounted for losing 10%-20% of the pages when making my purchasing decision. Had I known that over half of these pages would come damaged, I would not have made this purchase and I would have returned this purchase if I hadn't needed to use the undamaged paper right away. I plan to try to buy this anywhere but Amazon next time I want a ream of this paper. If Amazon is the only place I can buy this, then I will likely consider buying a heavy-duty three-hole puncher so I can make paper like this myself unless they adjust the price of the ream accordingly on Amazon.
