Hammermill Laser Paper

Excellent! My top 1 choice among papers. Even though it says it's Premium laser Printer Paper, I use it for my Epson EcoTank L5290 to print The Good and the Beautiful curriculum -Math, Language Arts, Science, and Handwriting. So crisp texts, no bleed through. No warping of paper I love it!

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 good, bright paper. The surface is more slick than most inkjet papers I've used but my printers do not have a problem with this. It's a good value and the only 3-hole paper I can find priced about the same as my regular papers—a major convenience. Thickness for 24 bond is not quite that of my other papers but it's not as thin as 22 so I have no problem. Letter size is accurate and easy to use. No jamming issue but my Brother printer can drop pages when it gets too warm so I do not let it print more than 150 pages at a time without a rest.

Solid 8 1/2" x 14" paper. Holds ink well. Prints good. Managable paper weight.

Very good quality paper, runs smoothly through an HP laser printer and prints cleanly. This particular weight works well for DVD case inserts - it is slightly thicker than standard copy paper but thin enough to be fully flexible and easy to cut using an inexpensive paper trimmer, and the legal size dimensions give plenty of length to fit the artwork on. I am deducting one star because the ream arrived with the protective covering sheath split and/or ripped in multiple spots, I had to tape it back together (but the actual paper sheets were somehow all still fine, whew!).

My go-to paper. Size is accurate and feels thick quality.

This paper is very sturdy and is great for resumes or printing out other important papers that will help make them stand out. Great quality

Primo paper to impress a customer. Or for that final version that will be kept for years.

Hammermill Premium Laser Print is an excellent paper. It‘s smoothness puts it above all others for producing quality work on laser printers as well as on spirit duplicators. Good selection of different weights, too. I only wish the manufacturer would make a 20 lb. version of this paper.

This paper is so smooth and perfect!

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.

This paper is much better quality than other print paper I’ve used. The paper actually works better in my printer too

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.
