Hammermill Colored Paper, 20 lb Gray Printer Paper, 8.5 x 11-1 Ream (500 Sheets) - Made in the USA, Pastel Paper, 102889R

I purchased this Hammermill cream printer paper to use for everyday office printing and crafting, and it has exceeded my expectations. The 20 lb weight is standard for everyday printing, but the smooth texture gives it a noticeably higher quality feel than cheap multipurpose copy paper. The cream color is warm and sophisticated—not too yellow and not too white—making it ideal for wedding invitations, resumes, and formal announcements. It feeds through my laser and inkjet printers smoothly without a single jam, and the ink dries quickly with zero bleeding or feathering. **Pros:** * Beautiful, professional cream shade * Excellent print clarity with no ink bleeding * Jam-free performance in both laser and inkjet printers * Made in the USA and acid-free for archival quality **Cons:** * At 20 lb, it is slightly translucent, so double-sided printing with heavy black ink can show through faintly on the reverse side. Overall, this is a reliable, high-performing pastel paper that adds an elegant touch to any project. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade from standard white copy paper.

Hammermill paper is always of good quality and color. It runs extremely well in any copier or printer (ink jet or toner, black and white or color). The price is also good. It hardly ever jams and runs smoothly.

Perfect color. Perfect weight.

It’s handy to have something besides white. Texture & quality are great.

Excellent quality, very nice creamy color, no bleed through, stands up well to stapling.

I recently purchased Hammermill Colored Paper and have found it to be an excellent product overall, though with a few specific considerations worth noting for potential buyers. ## Quality & Appearance The Hammermill Colored Paper offers exceptional color vibrancy and consistency throughout the ream. The paper has a premium feel with a slightly thicker weight than standard copy paper, giving my documents and projects a more professional and substantial appearance. The colors remain bright even after printing and don't fade easily when exposed to light. ## Versatility Beyond Printing While I initially bought this paper for printing purposes, I've discovered it's perfect for handwritten notes, art projects, and organization systems. The thickness provides excellent durability for frequently handled documents, and the colors make categorizing information intuitive and visually appealing. ## Printer Compatibility Note One consideration is that the paper is slightly larger and thicker than standard paper, which created some compatibility issues with my HP 64xx printer. The dimensions didn't feed perfectly through my particular model, causing occasional paper jams. I've worked around this in two ways: 1. Using the paper primarily for handwritten notes and projects that don't require printing 2. Trimming approximately 1cm from one edge with scissors before printing, which resolved the feeding issues ## Value Proposition Despite the minor sizing inconvenience with my specific printer model, I still find this paper to be an excellent value. The quality, color selection, and versatility for various projects make it worth the small adjustment needed for printing. For anyone seeking high-quality colored paper for both printing and non-printing applications, I highly recommend Hammermill Colored Paper—just be prepared to check compatibility with your specific printer or have scissors handy for a quick trim if needed.

Quality paper at a good price!

I used this for a bookbinding project, and I was so pleased with the color and texture of the paper, especially for the price point. It held up incredibly well during the binding process, and was easy to print with in the big Xerox printer/copier I used. In hindsight, I still think I would have preferred 11x17 cut in half so that the grain would have gone the other direction, but that's not this paper's fault. All in all, this paper feels luxurious for a fairly low price.

Perfect for my project

no me gusto que la bolsa de papel de empaque viniese toda rota, pudiera uno pensar que no venia completa la cantidad de hojas, y lo mismo ha sucedido con otras compras de resmas de papel

Klasör ajandalarımın boyuna göre keserek kullanıyorum. Çok hoş renkte günlük kullanımlık biraz kalınca bir kağıt.

El papel tiene muy buena calidad para imprimir

Paper is working well. I use a lot of layers in my cards so the thinner/20lb paper is nice for backgrounds on the fronts of cards as well as inside the card. I am not sure I would die cut images out of it - as it is thin and could rip. I think it works well for what I use it for. I would buy again - but I have lots
