This Amazon Basics paper offers a noticeable step up in quality from standard office sheets by utilizing a 24 lb basis weight. This increased density provides a sturdier feel and significantly reduces the amount of ink that shows through to the other side, making it a practical choice for double-sided homework assignments or family newsletters.
The 97 brightness rating ensures a high-contrast white background that makes text easy to read. Specifications show that the slightly thicker profile of 24 lb paper can actually improve the reliability of older printers by providing a better grip for the internal rollers, which helps prevent multiple sheets from feeding at once.
Because this paper is more dense, it may require your printer to have slightly more "dry time" for the ink. It is helpful to adjust your printer settings to a "heavyweight" or "premium" paper mode to ensure the best results. The 5-ream packaging provides a significant supply for a busy household without taking up as much floor space as a full 10-ream carton.
For those who handle very high volumes of everyday drafts and don't require the extra thickness, the HP 20 lb 3-ream case is a lighter, space-saving alternative.
