Quality and Usability

Pros:

• "This also was a good value for the price."
• "The only vendor I found with 11x17 paper in cream color."
• "Paper quality was exactly as described but looked white instead of cream."
• "Hammermill manufactures high quality papers and this 20lb 11X17 paper was no exception."
• "I liked everything about this product, especially the price I paid of $6.44!"
• "It's never jammed, wrinkled or misfed."
• "It's a good price and the paper is good quality."

Cons:

• "Some of this paper is damaged so it will not work in my printer."
• "The cover was ripped when I received the package."
• "A pro tip is to check the 'new & used from $x.xx' below the description; there may be that one ream that has the packaging slightly damaged but at a fraction of the original price."
• "It cost more than other colors -- makes me unhappy."
• "Obviously it still has the texture of copy paper, so it doesn't quite have that true 'book paper' feel."
• "Lasts long, the grey is too dark... be aware the finishing is not really vellum either, might work for cheap b/w laser printers, every other printing method/ink will smudge."
• "Paper is thinner than I would like and sometimes pulls two sheets through the printer."
