HammermillPrinter Paper, Premium Laser Print 32 lb, 11 x 17-4 Ream (2,000 Sheets) - 98 Bright, Made in the USA, 104653C

This is a review for: Hammermill Premium Laser Print Paper. Aaah...paper. I love it. I have color inkjet printers and I have a color laser printer and I love them and I love printing. Remember when inkjet paper was dedicated to inkjet inks? It really made a difference. Well....that is gone except for high-end specialty papers sold as inkjet. Well...maybe not. Maybe there really is a paper that is as good as the old dedicated inkjet paper.When I looked for the best I could find for my laser color printer, I wound up buying this Hammermill Premium Laser Print. To get it you've got to get all 3 of those words right and in the right order because there are other papers from Hammermill and from other companies who use all of those words but not in that order. That is confusing. I hate it but that's the way it is.This paper is great for the laser. The paper surface is really smooth so the melted toner lays a nice glossy image on the smooth paper. It looks great. It's not as good as a glossy presentation paper for laser but for a plain surface paper it is quite pleasing and I'm pretty proud to distribute things I print on this stuff.But !! I tried it in my inkjet printers. Wow! This stuff is better than any of the old so-called "inkjet" papers. I mean it seems to holds the ink near the top of the surface of the page like the old dedicated inkjet paper used to do and it really displays bright saturated colors and dark dense blacks. And it is just as water resistant as any other inkjet paper I have used. I love it. So, I printed on both sides. No appreciable bleed through. I can see through it if I shine light through it from behind but such is the case with all papers. Now, this Hammermill Premium Laser Print isn't going to perform exactly like dedicated inkjet matte specialty papers or dedicated inkjet glossy papers...but...it is so close to some of the matte papers, I'm truly favorably impressed.I don't bother buying any other paper. As long as Amazon contues to give a decent deal on this stuff, I can't see any reason to use anything else.So, nothing is really worth 5 stars in this mortal world, but, I did it anyway because I hope to coax Hammermill to leave good enough alone and keep this in the product lineup. (I swear it seems like everytime I come to depend on some product, there's a revamp at the whim of some new VP or something and everything degrades forcing me to scurry for an acceptable substitute at the last minute without warning.)

This is a fine product and I have used the same great paper from Hammermill for a few years. If you haven't tried it, I think you will be pleased. The slightly heavier weight feels and looks good. SUGGESTION... please ship in the original 5 ream box! I received a much larger shipping box that had the 5 one-ream packages inside along with some plastic cushioning, because the box was so large. There was no damage to the paper (thankfully) BUT it would be a lot more convenient to receive it in the 5 ream box -- as shown in the Amazon description photographs. I took one star off for this reason... everything else is fine.

I've been using the Hammermill Laser Print paper for at least the past 20+ years. Hammermill reformulated the paper a few years ago, made it a bit brighter white and also a bit thicker. But unless you had one of the old reams side-by-side with a new ream, you'd never know. This paper also creates much less dust inside the printer than cheap copy paper. The only downside is the cost. :-((

No paper jams with 5,500 sheets printed! Each print was crisp and worked really well for the products we produced.

Great price and quality paper, with 3-hole punch. Just what I needed.

The print quality of this specific paper is what I use for my certificates because they are thicker than the usual copy paper, which are too frail.Although, the item was already opened upon arrival/delivery. Highly disappointed that I paid for a condition of: “New”.

The paper itself is great, but Amazon shipped it in a big box with no bubble wrap or anything, so it was just banging around in there and arrived with crumpled edges.

Having been in the printing business for many years, I know paper. Best paper to use in an office (or home) is a 24lb quality paper. Brightness is a distant second to the importance of the paper's weight. Regular copy paper (20ib) will either curl after being printed or lose shape after a few days. Any 24lb paper is worth the extra money (Hammermill, Cascade, etc), especially if the printed copy will be shared with others.

Annoying the paper I received had the packaging ripped open and half the paper removed! Strange, as the delivery box was not tampered with.Thankfully customer services sorted this out, but another reviewer said the same thing happened to their order too.

Really nice paper. The surface is flawless, and the 24lb weight is as heavy as I'd want for high-quality documents. However, there is just no good way to safely ship ANY single ream; the light packaging is designed for the protection of a multi-ream box. The ream I received had the ends and center taped, though there was sheets with folded corners, which could only have happened before the tape was applied. I stopped counting at 67 sheets with corner or edge damage, and just kept removing more damaged sheets until there were usable ones I could put in my printer. Luckily I didn't need many sheets of legal, or otherwise would have ordered an 8-ream 4000 sheet box.

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) <EF> y Pilot black+Platinum Meteor <EF> 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.

I was initially worried that the ink from my canon MegaTank would smear on laser paper but I have had none of those issues .I love printing my teacher guides and workbooks on 32 lb paper and this one does the job- crisp images and soft, buttery texture. 98 brightness is also more appealing to the eye as I find it less “blinding” than 100 brightness .

I bought this paper to print homeschool materials (including Gather’Round), and I love, love, love it!! If paper can be beautiful, than this paper is that. The tactile feel of the paper is great, and I love that it is just a tad heavier than what I’ve used in the past (I typically buy the cheapest 20lb paper I can find, I’ve even used 16lb Eco friendly paper which worked fine but was super thin). I thought this paper may handle all the colorful illustrations well that is contained within the Gather’Round curriculum and it definitely did. And for 99% of what I was printing, it handled double sided printing just fine (it wasn’t great for any graph and table type worksheets due to being able to see faint lines from the reverse side). I typically don’t love the print quality of my printer, but this paper helped make up for that fact. Because the paper appeared to have a really faint sheen I was initially worried writing on it, but I tried a pencil and a few pens and it worked well with no smudging. I’m not sure if I would use it for regular, daily printing as it feels a little too nice. All around I’m super happy.
