30% Recycled Multipurpose Copy Paper, 11 x 17 in - Value Pack

In this review of a 5-ream value pack of 11 x 17 in multipurpose copy paper, the bottom line is simple: this paper is best for offices or home users who need large-format ledger sheets at a low cost and reliable print contrast. The reviewer found the 92 GE bright white surface delivers clear text and graphics across laser and inkjet machines, and the 20 lb weight balances economy with reasonable handling. For bulk printing or everyday copies where whiteness and compatibility matter more than premium thickness, this pack is a practical choice.

Key Features

• Large pack size: Five reams provide 2,500 sheets, reducing trips to reorder and keeping a steady supply for busy print environments.
• Ledger format: The 11 x 17 in size works well for posters, spreadsheets and layouts that need extra room compared with letter paper.
• Printer compatibility: Safe for use in laser and inkjet printers, copiers and fax machines so it fits varied office equipment without special handling.
• Economical weight: The 20 lb paper offers an economical balance that feeds smoothly in many machines while keeping cost-per-sheet low.
• Bright white surface: A 92 GE brightness yields high contrast for text and images, helping prints look crisp and legible.
• Recycled content: Made from 30% recycled fiber for a lower environmental footprint compared with fully virgin papers.

Who It's For

This paper is aimed at small businesses, print shops doing occasional large-format jobs, schools and home offices that regularly print ledger-size documents without needing heavyweight card stock. The pack is a good match when quantity and whiteness are priorities over premium thickness.

Users who require heavyweight stock for final presentation pieces, or those who want completely jam-free performance in very sensitive high-speed printers, should consider heavier weight or special coated papers instead. Photographers and fine art printers will find this multipurpose sheet too lightweight for archival display.
