Epson Premium Bright White Paper, 8 1/2 x 11 Inch, 500 Sheets (S041586)

A 1-star review complains about the paper not being 108 brightness, but the poster is confusing scales: this, like all modern papers, are measured using the ISO (International Standards Organization) method, more specifically ISO 2470:1999 or 2470-2:2008 (Paper and board-Measurement of diffuse blue reflectance factor (ISO Brightness).

The 1-star reviewer was comparing this to paper that was measured using a different scale, probably one of the two regional TAPPI scales (sometimes called GE brightness) if he is in North America; his/her review should be deleted as it's incorrect.

I've heard people complain about the output of their ink jets which is often the result of cheaping out on the paper. Bite the bullet, spend a couple more bucks and get the stock recommended by the manufacturer. I have an Epson 200 (a low end six ink printer) and I use Epson's Bright White for text with a few graphics, and Epson's Ultra Premium Luster for photos. The results are a big improvement over other brands. I've occasionally succumbed to sale prices of competing brands and have always been disappointed. I can't speak for other manufacturers printers but, they're not kidding when they say, " for best results use Epson inks and papers".

Cheap, thick paper. Plus this way I get to avoid those creeps at Office Depot.

A nice grade of paper. I wish I could say how it works in my printer but I haven't used it for that yet! I like to draw and that is pretty much what I've done with it so far. Nice all purpose paper so far.

i believe that i paid too much for this product. comprting pyoducts are just as good for significantly less.This us quite good quality print paper,however, and I beleive that you can count on that,if necessary
