Amazon Basics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper - White, 8.5 x 11 Inches
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'ITS PRINTER PAPER! Has not spontaneously combusted or exploded. Does not smell bad. Lays flat when left alone. Ink seems to stick well to surface. Cuts with scissors. Will catch fire if a match is held to it, so that’s worth noting. Would not recommend for boat building or making farming implements but it’s a fine printer paper.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "It can be a little tough to write a review that opposes so many other reviews. It sets us up for criticism. That said - there is no way we can recommend this paper.\n\nPROS - The container size (half carton/5 reams) is great. Love it. So much easier to carry and store. The price of $16 or $17 is good. It was shipped quickly and in good condition. These pros also apply for Georgia-Pacific Spectrum Standard 92 Multipurpose Paper and other competitors.\n\nCONS - The paper itself. The paper we were sent is incredibly dry and thin. The feel is almost slippery - a little like a powdered glove. In HP/Brother printers (laser and inkjet) and two copiers the paper is occasionally pulled two sheets at a time.We have tried the paper in multiple machines. If two sheets are not taken at once, then there are jams (misfeed-related). The printed paper also is difficult to handle. We are constantly licking fingers or grabbing those rubber thimbles. Lastly the paper crinkles/folds more easily than the paper we have from other companies (Georgia Pacific, Staples, OfficeMax). When we load this paper in machines, a few pages of the bottom of the stack wrinkle up and have to be removed. We can only load it when there is still some paper in the machine. Yes, it is winter and we are in Massachusetts, so the paper may behave better in warmer weather or more humid climates. It is just so obviously worse than any other paper we have tried in almost 10 years, that I have been asked multiple times to never purchase it again. We may just recycle the rest so that we are not tempted to use the paper again.\n\nNote: We have not been compensated ($, discount or free sample) in any way for this unbiased opinion. No one should. We don't trust any Amazon reviewer that does that (though we appreciate their honesty for revealing their compensation). Amazon should stop all compensated reviews and better find/remove false reviews (positive reviews secretly posted by sellers or their employees/family/friends). Honest, unbiased reviews are a major reason why we go to Amazon in the first place."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'After reading reviews indicating that the paper was thin and poor quality, I was hesitant to purchase this product but decided to do so because it was the lowest price ream of paper offered. I am glad to say that I had no reason to be concerned. The paper is good quality. It is not thick but it is not very thin either. The sheets of paper are consistent in size and perfect for every day use which is what I needed. I find that all AmazonBasics products that I have purchased have been of high quality at a great point. This one is no different. I will be purxhasing again.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This paper works just like other paper you may have purchased in the past. However, it's Amazon paper, which makes it sooo much better. From the moment I opened the box, I knew something was different. Yes, I noticed the regular paper smell, but I felt there was something bigger going on here and it sent a chill of excitement down my spine. I actually think my printer sang, when I opened a ream and placed it in the paper cartridge. Seriously, every day has been a bit better, since I purchased this Amazon paper. I encourage you to get your own and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "If you work in an office and know your paper, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS PAPER! I decided to try it out and it is super slick so not all of our printers are able to pull it efficiently. The bigger problem I have, is that for some reason it curls when it gets heated, like when it goes through a laser printer. It might work OK with an ink jet printer where no heat is used, but if you're using a laser printer, I'd advise against buying this paper. I honestly don't know what causes that, but its a problem. Another thing to note is that if you don't like plastic, the ream wrappers seem to be plastic coasted paper, so it can't go into a paper recycling bin. It's worth it to pay more for a better quality paper."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The paper is exactly what I expected. It's comparable to other 20lb/92 bright paper I've bought at the office supply store. I do like that I can buy this in smaller packs."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'m not sure I can convey how life-changing this copy paper is. Don\'t let the "AmazonBasics" fool you, because this paper is NOT "basic." It is transformative. It is paper-thin. It is rectangular. It is so white, it is practically the Oscars. It is manufactured to the highest standards: the short side is 8.5 inches -- no more, no less -- while the long side is a precise 11 inches. In the past, I have used paper from Xerox, or Staples, or Office Depot. Never again! Those papers do not have the power, the impact, the modest simplicity yet endless potential, of AmazonBasics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Just got the paper and this is how it arrived. The paper is all a part of the back to school supplied, and what the classrooms require us to bring. Not sure how I'm supposed to hand this over like this. Very surprising. Not only are they both open, but the top of one of them looks torn. Quite surprising because it is an Amazon product. Disappointing."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "So I have seen bad reviews on here about this paper and I took a chance. I have worked from home as a real estate professional for 20 years. Mainly bought my paper from Walmart or Office Depot. I mean, paper is paper! Guess what y'all, it's paper! I see no difference with this paper verses the Walmart or Office Depot Brands! Unless you are some sort of paper connoisseur then it's just paper and works and prints just like normal brands!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I ordered this paper as a cheaper option for my older home printer (Epsom 3540) that I typically use for basic home functions such as printing shipping labels, recipes, and other small tasks. I've been through one package and the paper works great. I don't notice a tinted blue color as other reviewers mention. It is thin, but it works flawlessly in my printer and sheets pull individually without getting stuck together. If you're using this in a copy machine or for work purposes and require a certain weight/thickness or color, then maybe this isn't for you. However, I never would have noticed a single issue if I hadn't read the reviews beforehand. For the price, it was worth taking a chance. I'm glad I did because the paper quality and price surpasses what I can buy locally."}]
