High quality paper that can be used for more than quilting.

While it's true that this paper does scratch somewhat easily, that hasn't been a problem.  I don't handle this paper as roughly as I might if I didn't know this.  The results straight from the printer are terrific.  I have reorders twice now and will continue to do so.  I love this stuff.

Love the surface and weight of this paper. Colors look great, and I've also used it for B&W prints. The promise of a long, stable lifetime for the printed images is a key reason I bought this paper.

I'm kind of a nut about paper products.  When I first realized, many years ago, that there was something better than 16 pound typing paper or 20 pound copy paper, I was in heaven!  Over the years, I've found many papers that I have liked and I always buy the correct type for the printer I'm using ... which is mostly a color laser these days.  However, my husband moved for a job and requested a photo printer of his own.

I got him a Canon Pixma (one of several models) to replace our old one that I gave to my son.  Because I also left the old paper stash with my son, I chose this paper for my husband's use.  At 28lb, I figured it could handle the photos he wanted to include in letters to his aging father.  Before I got here, he showed me a photo of the pages he had printed and they looked pretty good.

Now, I'm here and recently had to print something.  Oh my goodness!  This paper is fabulous.  Thick, smooth and just so ... rich feeling.  I'm sure the printer deserves some of the praise for the great print job, but a printer without quality paper is just a printer.

To clarify this paper is being used with an ink-jet printer, not a laser.

I liked the results so much that I came on here to order this second package even though the first package is still 3/4 full.  I am also using it to write letters (long-hand) and lists.  I really like this paper.  I'm definitely going to get the 32lb version and look to see if they have other weights as well.

If you're on the fence about this, go ahead and give it a try.  You really will like it.

This is is very nice, high quality paper that is a nice compromise between what you would use for everyday printing and what you would use for very high quality printing. I typically use Hammermill 32 pound paper for nice printing. I find in my private writing that it is a nice reward to print it for archiving on really nice paper. While I prefer the heavier grade ultra white paper, this still have a lot of brightness and has that nonporous feel that you get from paper that almost reaches photographic quality. This isn't something that I would use for printing photos, but it is something that I would use for articles or documents that I want to keep for long term use. Great paper.

I found this to be of very good value..Hammermill is a very good quality.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hammermill-Paper-Great-White-100-Recycled-Copy-Paper-8-5-x-11-Inch-500-Sheets-1-Ream-086790/dp/B009ZMP31K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hammermill Paper Great White 100% Recycled Copy Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inch,  500 Sheets /1 Ream (086790)</a>

This paper is very sturdy and thick, and a great, bright white color. All of the big, bright color photos and documents I've printed on this paper have come out perfectly. Just as importantly, this paper is made from 100% recycled paper, which not only saves many trees, but also completes the recycling process.  Recycling only works if people buy and use products made of recycled materials.  This is a great price, to top it all off!  Get this paper--you won't be disappointed!

I used to work from home and so I would order paper in larger quantities for business use. So after I stopped working, I had a large leftover supply from my last business order, which has lasted me an amazing four more years. I was using Staples brand copy paper, 92 bright and 20lb weight and had used it for years. I believe it's their most basic/cheapest, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. Anyway, it's served my purpose fine, I've never had any complaints. But now I am no longer working and use less paper, so I decided to price-shop smaller quantities this time around. I found this Hammermill Premium Multi-Purpose here on Amazon on sale, with an Amazon "instant-clip" coupon, and that's what sold me, it happened to work out to be the best price for 5 realms that I could find. I suspect it is not usually the cheapest, I think I just got lucky. Already as I write this review a few days after ordering it, I can see the price has increased.

I've never been picky about "brightness" or "weight" in the past; in fact, I didn't even know what I was using for brightness and weight until I checked my old package before ordering this out of curiosity. So I think it's important to point out, that I am apparently not very paper picky. But here's what I observed with this slightly more premium paper. I compared a sheet of this Hammermill 97 bright/24lb with my old Staples 92 bright/20 lb side by side. I could see the Hammermill is definitely brighter. Feeling-wise, I couldn't feel a huge difference. I 'guess' the Hammermill feels heavier/smoother - but not by much, the brightness difference seemed more noticeable for me personally. I printed a small graphic clip-art of a rainbow with a pot of gold on the old and the new paper, just to see how the color comparison would be. Sure enough, the colors DO look better on the Hammermill 97 bright. Not a huge difference, but if you print things with color that are important or if you do color-oriented printing-type crafts often, then this does seem to make the colors look better, they just seem to 'pop' a little more against the brighter background. Not drastically better, but noticeably better.

That said, I personally rarely print color graphics or photos, I do 98% or more of my printing as basic black-ink letters, articles, etc., so I don't care too much about color appearance. As far as jamming: I've personally never had any jamming issues with the 20lb Staples paper, in fact, I'm not sure I've ever had a single jamming issue with it that I can recall. So while this 24lb weight is said to jam less, it seems to me a moot point. I use a home model Brother brand inkjet printer, if that helps. So my walk-away is this: If you do a lot of color printing and care about colors being more sharp, this does seem to be a nice brightness for that. Weight and quality-wise, it feels very similar to my Staples 20lb paper; slightly better, but not enough difference for me to care. So for me personally, next time I need to order, I'd see if this was on sale and if so, I would definitely order it again, it's nice paper. But if I saw 92 bright/20 lb pack of 5 reams of another brand that was cheaper, I'd be perfectly content with that too and would prefer the savings, given that I do so little color printing.

This paper is great on Color Copy Machines, especially for picture printing and program printing. I will keeping getting it as long as available.

Great bright paper, with a very smooth finish, for color printing on my inkjet. I also like the slightly heavier weight. I use this paper to produce cards, flyers, and photos for framing.

This paper is heavy weight and the glossy side produces a fantastic image.  It's the best quality greeting card paper I've found.

HP paper is great because it doesn't "fuzz" the printers.

This is really nice paper, it's stiff, smooth and maintains its shape and surface quality well. I have had trouble with too many other papers picking up because the wet ink and sharp steel nib tear up the surface.

I have taken up pen and ink drawing (practicing my way through Guptill's book--<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rendering-in-Pen-and-Ink-The-Classic-Book-On-Pen-and-Ink-Techniques-for-Artists-Illustrators-Architects-and-Designers/dp/0823045293/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rendering in Pen and Ink: The Classic Book On Pen and Ink Techniques for Artists, Illustrators, Architects, and Designers</a>) and this paper is the best I have used for finished work.

This paper is very quick drying so prints can be stacked without worrying that they will stick together. I also like that it is fairly heavy stock so prints have the feel of professional lab quality.

Highly Recommended!

The paper is excellent. The colors are cheerful but not blindingly bright; I would say that the product illustrations are pretty accurate. It is strong and smooth, easy to fold, and holds a crease. I wanted to be able to write a message on the inside of the paper before folding it into an origami figure, and the paper has exceeded my expectations in that regard. I was even able to use a couple of brush markers (Copic and Sharpie) that normally bleed through regular paper, and they didn't bleed at all. I also wrote on the patterned side just to make a pretty little sign.

The instructions, on the other hand, are a bit too minimalist for someone who's not experienced with origami. If I hadn't seen cranes and unfolded them before, I would never have figured out how to fold them from these instructions.

Still, I may buy another of these kits just because the paper is so nice!

Edited to add: I notice that a lot of origami paper reviews complain that the paper isn't square or that it is smaller than advertised. This paper is square. Each sheet measures 15.2cm or 6" in each dimension.
