Excellent Everyday Paper – Bright, Reliable and Affordable

I’ve been using this Amazon Basics multipurpose copy printer paper for a few months, and it’s become my go‑to for both home and office printing. The quality is excellent: smooth, crisp, and reliable across both inkjet and laser printers .It offers a 92 GE brightness rating, delivering sharp text and vibrant light graphics without looking glossy or cheap . The 20-pound weight makes it sturdy enough to avoid curls or jams and still prints double-sided with minimal show-through—perfect for everyday tasks like reports, forms, school assignments, or memos .What stands out is how smoothly it feeds through printers—no misfeeds or paper jams, even during heavy printing runs . I also appreciate that it’s acid-free and recyclable, giving me confidence that prints won’t yellow over time and helping reduce waste .This paper is great value. A single 500‑sheet ream typically costs around $6–7, which makes it ideal for bulk printing without spending much. It’s especially useful for non-critical documents or everyday office needs where cost-efficiency matters .Users in various forums confirm this experience. One Reddit user summed it up well:“Having decent paper ... without breaking the bank.”“No feathering but some ghosting and no sheen.”Overall, if you’re looking for dependable, bright, and affordable copy paper that works well for standard printing and copying, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

Amazon Basics for the win!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I decided to give this paper, a try for two key factors First, it was available for fast shipping by end of business same day. Second, the price of this copy paper compared to our “business account discount” Office Depot brand is about 60% cheaper. The paper shipped out extremely fast and was at my hostess station within three hours of ordering. I immediately ran off 30 days worth of checklist and the print quality is exceptional. I will never buy HP Office Depot or hammer mill paper again as long as Amazon basics is available. If you are working in an office where it is still essential to have copy paper for any reason and you are not giving your business to Amazon basics you are throwing away profit! Highly recommend.

Good quality paper

I chose Amazon because it can provide next-day delivery, so I don't need to go to other supermarkets to buy. Although the price of paper is a little bit higher than that of other supermarkets, the quality is much better. And I noticed that this paper is wrapped in a material similar to oil paper. Maybe it is waterproof? After all, the last time I bought paper from outside, part of it was wetted by water and could not be used at all. It seems that Amazon's products are still very attentive.

Great Paper at a Great Price

I run a business and use this paper in my Brother MFC-L8850-CDW printer/scanner. I have been using Amazon brand paper since it was available. I see no difference in high quality paper and this paper. It's economic value is great. I do not have problems with jamming or smearing. It's prints very clear. I use this for professional financial documents for my clients and have no complaints. If you're worried about this, do not be. This is a great quality product.

Reliable, Bright, and Great for Everyday Use

This printer paper checks all the boxes—clean, bright white, and feeds smoothly through both my home printer and office copier. I’ve never had a jam or misfeed, and the ink doesn’t smudge or bleed, even with color printing.The weight is just right—not too thin, not too thick—and it feels high quality whether I’m printing documents, forms, or school projects. It also stacks neatly and doesn’t curl or stick together.Simple product, but consistently dependable. Perfect for home, work, or school use. Highly recommend!
