I need some feedback for printing paper; I just brought four 80 sheets of Bazic printing paper, and it is sturdy, but I want to know if there's anything better out there? Feedback and comments welcome.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!
 
Depends on what you're using it for.

For everyday printing of notes generic cheap paper is OK.

For photos, use good quality photo paper. For accurate colors, usually matching the brand paper to the same brand printer is best. It's your preference as to glossy or matte finish (glossy is more snapshot, matte is more high end for display).

For special printings, like a resume, you need to use paper made especially for resumes.

Sounds like a trip to Office Max is needed. Come to think of it, I need more black ink for my printer, anyways, so I'll probably stop by in the next couple of weeks.
 
Yep ... recycled toilet paper it's the best !!! you should try it sometime :D

I would use recycled paper for printing. Much better for trees and environment.

Lemme check the packaging my paper came in. Think I saw a recycle logo on it. Hold please.

I didn't find a logo, but I did find the number 510, and a quick search tells me that this paper that I brought it at least 30% recycled. I need better paper than that.

I saw your post on my e-mail. I brought 320 (80x4) sheets for under $6 ($1.49 each), so it appears to be.
 
This has made me curious. I wonder if recycled paper cost less than non-recycled paper.
