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

It's intended for use with laser printers. For that purpose it works just fine. Doesn't bleed or smudge unless you do it on purpose. Images show up just as clear and crisp as your printer can make them. Text is just as legible and elegant as your printer and font settings will allow. It might not be "the best paper that money can buy" but it is just fine for school projects, business reports, personal notes and sketches, and it's even great for folding into paper airplanes!LOL.Ok, seriously, what else did you expect me to say about printer paper?This is NOT their photo-quality paper. It will print pretty good images (depending on the quality of your printer hardware) but if you want photo quality to hang on the wall or put in the family photo album, you'll need to pay a little more and get the actual "photo quality" paper. I've used THIS paper to print out maps for scientific research and transit projects, "clip-art" style pictures for reports and presentation notes, pie charts and spreadsheets, and even "plain paper quality" copies of portrait and landscape photographs. And I never received any complaints about any of them (at least no complaints in regards to the paper or the print quality). So as long as you have REASONABLE expectations for a sheet of printer paper, this will do just fine.

This is a review for: Hammermill Premium Laser Print Paper. Aaah...paper. I love it. I have color inkjet printers and I have a color laser printer and I love them and I love printing. Remember when inkjet paper was dedicated to inkjet inks? It really made a difference. Well....that is gone except for high-end specialty papers sold as inkjet. Well...maybe not. Maybe there really is a paper that is as good as the old dedicated inkjet paper.When I looked for the best I could find for my laser color printer, I wound up buying this Hammermill Premium Laser Print. To get it you've got to get all 3 of those words right and in the right order because there are other papers from Hammermill and from other companies who use all of those words but not in that order. That is confusing. I hate it but that's the way it is.This paper is great for the laser. The paper surface is really smooth so the melted toner lays a nice glossy image on the smooth paper. It looks great. It's not as good as a glossy presentation paper for laser but for a plain surface paper it is quite pleasing and I'm pretty proud to distribute things I print on this stuff.But !! I tried it in my inkjet printers. Wow! This stuff is better than any of the old so-called "inkjet" papers. I mean it seems to holds the ink near the top of the surface of the page like the old dedicated inkjet paper used to do and it really displays bright saturated colors and dark dense blacks. And it is just as water resistant as any other inkjet paper I have used. I love it. So, I printed on both sides. No appreciable bleed through. I can see through it if I shine light through it from behind but such is the case with all papers. Now, this Hammermill Premium Laser Print isn't going to perform exactly like dedicated inkjet matte specialty papers or dedicated inkjet glossy papers...but...it is so close to some of the matte papers, I'm truly favorably impressed.I don't bother buying any other paper. As long as Amazon contues to give a decent deal on this stuff, I can't see any reason to use anything else.So, nothing is really worth 5 stars in this mortal world, but, I did it anyway because I hope to coax Hammermill to leave good enough alone and keep this in the product lineup. (I swear it seems like everytime I come to depend on some product, there's a revamp at the whim of some new VP or something and everything degrades forcing me to scurry for an acceptable substitute at the last minute without warning.)

This paper is excellent for laser printing. This is a repeat purchase. I would prefer Amazon package it better to prevent the sharkskin wrap from tearing during shipment. The package needs stabilized in the box to prevent it from moving in the box. My previous shipment, the package had opened during shipping so several sheets were not useable.Excellent paper, needs better packing for shipping.

I never thought I would be someone who can tell the difference in printer paper, but here I am! I had purchased a big box of paper from a box store years ago on clearance and it lasted a long time. When I needed to replace, I learned by looking at my printer manual that this is the paper they recommended. I didn’t think there would be a difference, but there is! This paper glides so easily and is not transparent at all. You can feel the difference between this and our old one and it’s very obvious by looking that this is the higher quality! Great value for money and I have no idea how long this will last because I feel like we started printing more!

I used all sorts of quality paper in my laser printer, from store brands to higher-end, but I always come back to Hammermill Premium Laser Printer Paper. The weight, brightness, and quality of printing on this paper is outstanding. HIghly recommend!

I was not aware of the difference between 20g and 24g paper when I ordered this but wow do I feel fancy now! This paper is quality. It has a heavier feel and shinier surface to it than regular 20g copy paper (which I had been using). It has also fixed a banding problem I had with my laser printer. Turns out maybe it does matter if you use the right paper for your printer?

Good thick quality paper. No issues, no jamming in my printer. Absolutely no bleed through.

Very good paper for everyday use.

Me llego y vienen muy bienSe ve de buena calidadSeguiré comentando

I am very pleased with the quality of this paper, colors come out bright and clear and it works well on my laser printer.

As advertised, nice bright paper

Annoying the paper I received had the packaging ripped open and half the paper removed! Strange, as the delivery box was not tampered with.Thankfully customer services sorted this out, but another reviewer said the same thing happened to their order too.
