HP Laser Print Office Paper, 98 Brightness, 24lb, 8-1/2 x 11, White, 500 Sheets/Rm

This product was purchased to support a craft project using the Cricut Machine...infuseable ink.

I was immediately disappointed as I examined my first sheets of this paper. It is not the equal of my current HP laser 24lb paper at all, which is no longer available. It seems thin, more like a 20lb paper. I folded and weighed sheets of this new paper and they averaged 5.28 grams per sheet. I weighed my older paper and found an average of 5.54 grams per sheet. A ream of this new paper weighs approx. 130 grams less than my old paper. Draw your own conclusion. This paper is NOT a matte finish. This paper is NOT a gloss finish. I'll call it a semi-gloss and note that the surface is very smooth. Printing on this paper with a color laser printer gives you a sharp concise line making very fine 4 point text easy to read. The paper is somewhat transparent, more like a 20lb, showing the reverse of a duplex printed sheet more than I like and has a slick feel to the fingertips that makes page handling a bit difficult. I will not be buying this paper again as the reverse side of a duplex printed page shows too clearly thru the paper and will present badly to a client receiving a bound report. This paper is very good if you wish a one side only highly readable print that will be looked at on a solid dark surface such as a desktop.

This is Hammermill Paper, not HP-branded paper. Good paper, but a misleading description in Amazon!

This is a cheaper quality paper and does not match the product image or description.

I'm not sure which is top side to print but I've printed on both sides with good results

It is a great quality paper for my laser color printer at an excellent price.
