Double A Office Quality A4 Printer Paper for Copiers, 80 gsm, 1 Ream, 500 Sheets, White

The paper itself gets 5 stars because it really is extremely smooth, bright white, and is made of sustainable materials. Tested on a laser printer, it worked fine. 80gsm is the marked weight but I did feel it to be slightly lighter than the 80gsm of my usual HP paper. Double A is marked as being suitable for all uses, such as laser, inkjet, photocopying, and so on.I honestly cannot say whether I prefer this Double A or my other HP paper (which, it seems, HP are not selling now!!!!). Both are white, both take laser print and inkjet print with no issues - but aside from my feeling there was a little difference in the actual weight, the main difference was abundantly clear - Double A paper is ultra smooth, the HP I have been using for years is very, very slightly rougher. I don't know if smooth or rough produce any better or worse results, I know both work perfectly well for me.That was my review of the actual paper product. Now I have to review the Amazon warehouse staff/pickers/packers.The paper was delivered in a stout, Amazon box with brown paper packed on top of the ream of paper to keep it steady in transit. Full marks there. BUT there was a tear in the packaging along one side. This is totally unacceptable. The paper would not have left the manufacturer with torn packaging - after all, that breaks the seal and exposes the paper to the elements. Therefore, the packaging had to have been torn when it was being picked or packed at an Amazon warehouse.As I said, full marks for delivering it separately and in a proper box, but come on, a torn wrapper means someone did not handle it with care and it should have been replaced before despatch.I checked the paper carefully and there was no visible damage. Had there been even one sheet damaged, I would have returned the entire ream for replacement.However, that is not the whole of the story. Printer paper has to be kept in its sealed wrapper and stored in a cool, dry place. When the wrapper is opened then it must at all times be kept in a cool and dry environment. Any excess warmth and any moisture in the air, will affect the paper. And how would anyone ever know that? Simple. Do a small print job on, say, a laser printer and the paper edges will be curled as it comes out as a result of moisture being allowed to permeate the exposed paper.Every single sheet I printed today came out with curled edges that had to be cooled and flattened. A test print with the paper I already have showed absolutely no issues at all, no curling - because it is always kept in a cool and dry place.5 stars then for the Double A paper, but absolutely nothing awarded for whoever stored this paper in the warehouse and/or whoever was responsible for the tear in the packaging. I am hoping that, over time, the paper will return to its correct consistency now that I am storing it correctly!

Nice quality paper for copying on the printer or for the kids to draw on. a great price and quick delivery.

Really nice paper - white, smooth with a lovely feel in the hands. It's my go-to for printing.

Its paper and it gets printed on, so yes good

Had these before always good and very good value. Produce clear results every time.

I have always found this product excellent. However, this delivery arrived with the blue/white envelope containing the paper fully open at one end. I have no reason to suppose this affected the contents.

The print comes out nice and clear, which is all I wanted so that’s good
