Weyerhaeuser Company First Choice Copy/Laser/Inkjet Paper, 98 Brightness, 28 lb, 11 x 17 Inches, 500 Sheets per Ream (85311)

I wouldn't say this is great paper, but very good paper. It is bright white, fairly heavy and sturdy and has a medium smooth surface. I was hoping after looking at the online information at the Domtar site that the surface would be very smooth as they list it as having a smoothness of 60, which is a very low number. The main problem was the paper cover containing the ream was torn very badly and wasn't even protecting the paper. There were pieces of tape on tears in the paper cover, which held up, so it seems the ream had been damaged but was sold as new. I reported the problem and asked for a $5 partial refund. The $5 was refunded and most of the paper is usable. I also asked that information regarding selling damaged goods on Amazon was passed along so that this wouldn't happen again. About 10 sheets on one side of the ream had a knife cut in the center and many have damaged corners.

A paper weight not available in my area.

I was so tired of paper Jams. on my 2nd ream not one paper jam. this seems to be the correct weight(28 lbs)

I've ordered 6 reams of this paper because it is the only 28-lb 'tabloid' paper I can find at this price to create my newsletter with. I don't know who is packing this stuff, but EVERY ream has arrived with the outer wrapping completely destroyed! Even the box that had 4 reams in it with the manufacturer's logo all over the box; each ream was trashed on the inside. The paper is all still usable, but how hard is it to either package this stuff better or improve the quality of the wrapper? It makes it very difficult to store the reams when they are falling out of their wrapper.
