This is my go-to paper for laser printers. I accidentally ordered a ream that was pre-punched with holes. Though that is handy, I need un-holed paper for daily use so I ordered more. Watch for holes when you order, Amazon's selection list can catch you if you don't look closely - otherwise highly recommended!!

I didn't realize this but apparently the all-purpose "copier" paper isn't good for laser printer cartridge longevity. This paper's a little more expensive than the all-purpose paper but heavy and high quality.Update: after finishing the first batch, ordered another batch. We keep getting complimented on the quality of our printer paper.

This is a very light weight copy paper, perfect for masking when fussy cutting or layering lighter elements. It's a little light for copic colouring, though I have used it for this, but prefer a heavier paper normally. Really lovely for using with a gel plate, great weight for that.

We use our Amazon Basic brand paper for every day run of the mill printing. But customer facing prints that go out for either customers to read or employees to see are printed on this stock.It looks and feels much nicer and the print seems to last and not show through on double sided prints as much on this stock. The extra cost is worth it if you are making signs or printing something that is not meant for the trash 10 minutes after it is seen.

Probably overkill for most unless you need very premium paper

I wasn't sure how heavy 32 lb paper was. I have very heavy card stock but the weight was no longer on the packaging but apparently card stock can be 65 lbs to 110 lbs. This is obviously lighter but still much heavier than regular copy paper. I wanted it for a bulletin for a memorial service. This is very smooth nice paper. There was a slight bleed through only because I had a dark graphic on the other side. All in all, this is nice quality paper and worked well for my project.

I love Hammermill paper. 32lbs is my fave weight. I need this ream for a project or I would have returned it. Amazon did not package it properly and I have 75 sheets banged and bent. 15% of my purchase damaged. I think Jeff is rich enough, he can let his employees take the extra 10 seconds to make sure my purchase arrives in good order.Note to the review process of this review. Post it all or don't post it.

This is my go to paper for printing pages for my albums and reference information. Use this weight of paper for all printing needs. Punches nicely for three ringed albums, no tear. Have used 60 pound and 100 pound paper and card stock, will never go back.

Hammermill presentación de 32lb, 500 unidades, costo en oferta de $261.99 mxn (poco menos de $13 usd dlls):Papel de excelente calidad, increíblemente suave, suficientemente grueso, no tan blanco, resistente a traspasar la hoja (bleed). En mis pruebas, soporta Mildliners, Stabilo, y una Pilot pettit (la versión brush pen).*************************************ACTUALIZACIÓN***************************************Había sido una usuaria de las plumas fuente (ESTILOGRÁFICAS) durante algunos años y había abandonado el hobby, pero con mi reciente retorno, comencé a volver a exigir más de los papeles que compro, y en resumidas cuentas, este papel no está a la altura.Con tinta Pilot black +nib Pilot (Penmanship) y Pilot black+Platinum Meteor noto "feathering" (básicamente, el papel absorbe y dispersa la tinta en sus fibras y le hace "pequeñas" ramificaciones), de hecho si hay "bleed through" (traspasa la hoja) para nibs mas jugosos, incluso es notable con mildliners y los rotuladores stabilo boss. Esas últimas cosas no me parecían tan importantes cuando sólo usaba plumas de gel, pero ciertamente uno espera cosas de los papeles de 32 LB.Llegué a probar rápidamente la otra versión de 32 LB de Hammermill (la de la guacamaya) y parece ser mejor, pero jamás vi su desempeño con plumas fuente.Si eres usuario de plumas fuente, verifica otras opciones. Contra todo pronóstico, el papel Navigator de 32 LB no tiene feathering pero mata las variaciones de tonalidad y el "sheen" de las tintas, una cosa por otra supongo (es barato en ciertos lugares especializados ---Lumen)... Probaré el papel de 32Lb de HP y volveré con mis recomendaciones para los usuarios de plumas fuente.Definitivamente es mejor el Hp de 32Lb, aquel me costó (14/05/2021) $254 mxn, no volvería a comprar este papel ni por su precio ni su calidad.*******************************************Mejor que Navigator de 32lb pero no mejor que Hp de 32lb.Amazon USA envío mi paquete sin cuidado, con cinta violada y empaque del papel completamente abierto. Comparando el volumen del paquete de las hojas con el volumen en conjunto de las mismas, parece que no faltan, pero es algo terrible por parte de Amazon; así que 5 estrellas para el producto y 2 estrellas para el sistema de paquetería de Amazon.

Elegí este papel porque quería tener copy paper tamaño Letter. Es de una calidad muy buena pero demasiado caro. En Amazon USA es tres veces mas barato en $. Solo es para los que les guste usar este tipo de tamaño de papel en España.

It's hard to review paper objectively when a lot of people don't think much of paper to begin with. Unfortunately paper is categorized in many "confusing" classifications for the average office worker, student and do-it-yourself photo printer to be of any real indication of "quality". I'll do my best to clarify paper "roles" and "grading" along with my quick review of the Hammermill Ultra-Smooth 32lb series.Paper is generally classified under weight (density), brightness (white value or color intensity value), and task (purpose or role). Weight is basically the measurement of how thick a piece of paper is, or how dense it is. The brightness is a measurement on a scale of 1-100 (although marketing may now claim numbers above 100) of how bright the color of the paper is; usually most of the time of how "white" the color appears. The task of a paper is its generally suggested role (copy paper, photo paper, multi-purpose, etc) and usually accompanied by what type of printer best gives the results needed (such as Inkjet or Laser).This particular paper series from Hammermill can be best described as "The best Jack of All Trade Papers" I've used. It's thick enough for reports and fliers but not too thick to be considered entry level card stock. It's bright enough for presentation graphics and high contrast images but does not produce photo images well enough to replace glossy paper, and it can be considered a good all around paper for quality prints without costing an insane amount of money if high quality matte was used on all print outs.The finish on the paper is lightly glossy, so there is a small sheen to the paper but it isn't really apparent enough for photo re-prints. Simple graphics (especially high color contrast images) do indeed look very nice on the paper. My biggest gripe with the paper is that it's not sturdy enough (considering it's 32lb grade) for duplex image printing without "wrinkling". Heavy paper and photo paper is specifically designed not to wrinkle when loaded with a lot of ink (hence their name) and I was kinda hoping this Hammermill paper would be able to hold its own in the image department. However heavy images on one side of the paper is enough to make it wrinkle on the other side making it an "average" image quality paper. The brightness is also not very impressive once again considering it's "98 GE" rating when I really consider it more of a 94 to be accurate.I would highly recommend this paper thus as supplementary to reports, presentations, and paper proejcts where you might contain some extremely high quality transparencies or photo print outs to give a more complete professional feel, rather than printing an entire report for example on photo paper which may seem like a bit too much (if not a bit tacky). For the home user, it's a great alternative for the children and the family printer for every-day decent quality photo/image print-outs without breaking the bank on glossy photo sheets.There's nothing else much to say other than this series of paper being the best "professional multi-purpose" every day paper you could possibly use. For students and every day print jobs, it's overkill. For business and professional tasks, it's the perfect balance between quality and value. For artists, photographers, proofreaders, and other graphic intensive applications; it's only good enough for draft work unfortunately. In the end I like it for what it is; a printer's reliable multi-tool.
