Packing:
For packaging, there are only a few things to say: The paper is delivered in a box from Amazon, which is stuffed with a lot of wrapping paper. In giant box are also eventually the paper. It is a red original box of Avery, where precisely are the offered 5 packs a 500-sheet paper. Both the Amazon carton and the Avery box arrived a bit battered at me - I know already from other paper orders at Amazon - so far so good.
So, unpacked, a few leaves taken from a package and the same on an HP Officejet 6500 A tested.
The Paper:
As I said, I compared it with HP paper and realized that it can not keep up high.
The comparison paper wieg 80g / m² as well as the Avery paper, but of the haptics her the HP paper feels just thicker at. The color can not be described as bright white, it is a light gray or -Beigeton.
The printing characteristics:
Having found that the paper is not completely white and also somehow feels thin, the paper was sent to the printer and losgedruckt immediately. Unilateral Prints fold perfectly, the paper is fed orgentlich and spat so again. With double-sided printing shows the paper in the truest sense of the word is not at its best: the text shines through, ie double-sided printing is for me anyway with this paper is not possible.
Compare HP Paper: Even with only 80 g / m², the back seems only minimally or not at all through.
The Price:
Price can not match other manufacturer with the paper. The package you get to exactly 4 euros, with Amazon savings SUBSCRIPTION even to 3.6. To mention also the disadvantages of good HP paper: It is almost twice as expensive as the Avery paper.
That pricewise this value pack is great.
Conclusion:
The paper provides an excellent price / Leistungsverhätlnis. If you're looking for a relatively high-quality paper at an unbeatable price will be well served with this paper. Because of the slightly lower strength but it is not suitable for double-sided printing. Also, the degree of whiteness (what! For a word) is not with other paper, such as HP Printing Paper comparable.
All in all, 3 of 5 stars!
