Pacon Assorted Pastel Multi-Purpose Paper, 8.5-in. x 11-in., 500 Sheets (101058)

Was packaged well. I used it not for printing but for a typewriter, and the quality for that was great. Colors are a bit muted compared to the picture, but that's okay with me. The "purple" is, like other reviewers say, more of a gray color. But it also is a nice color.

I don't want the color of the paper to intrude and detract from the content or to overwhelm the ink. I have looked everywhere for paler pastel paper to use and had to settle for "astrobright" in-your-face bold colors that probably cause eye damage when coupled with my small handwriting or the use of smaller/ornamental fonts. And then I found this - finally. It's pale enough to suit my needs. I'd kind of hoped to find equally pale parchment-like paper, or speckled or marbled or otherwise palely patterened paper, but this will do.

I love the paper! The colors are very pretty. There’s a lot of paper for the money!

i just got into downloading prints to learn to decoupage and these are really nice to print on for a change from white. Feels like good weight to it too

The colors are light, making print easy to read, and it goes through my printer without jamming. I am a freelance writer, and I like to use the colors for handwritten drafts. Sometimes plain white paper just sits there and glares at me, so a little bit of color is a nice change. Years ago they said that a pale green paper was easier on your eyes than plain white paper. This pack does not have any green, however, the colors it does have are restful.

Good value. Great for printing and copier use. Just didn't love how it was packaged.

Very good paper, works with both our laserjet and injet printers . .

Our 5 year old artist is probably going to blow through this whole ream in a month but she loves it & there's art everywhere! Nice to have color variety - but with lighter colors, so the color doesn't overwhelm her art.
