I've been using this paper now for a couple of years. They seem to go back and forth between a paper packet (nice and recyclable) and a film packet (horrible transparent plastic rubbish), but as at yesterday (August 1, 2007) the pack is made of paper. It costs £1.74 at the moment, and it's been about that price since I first bought it. You get 500 sheets in the pack.

The paper itself is good quality for a value item. I'm not saying it's fantastic, it's a tiny bit thinner (75gsm) than I'd like but you can't expect thick, premium quality paper from a supermarket's own cheapest-you-can-buy-in-the-shops-anywhere brand. If you put two printed sheets of this paper together, you can barely make out that something's printed on the back one and that's good enough for me.

I use the paper in a laser printer at the moment and the results are great (mostly down to the printer of course, but the overall effect is quite impressive and that couldn't happen if the paper was very low quality). Previously I've used it in an inkjet and that was fine too. I also use the paper for making notes (i don't like lines!). It's pleasant to write on and at less than half a penny per sheet, you don't need to worry about keeping the words down.

There's not much else I can think to write about this brand of plain paper. The slight giveaway of the 'thinness' of the paper loses it a star but for those of us who don't have the money to waste on expensive luxuries, this is a worthwhile purchase.

I buy this as drawing paper for my youngest daughter, it is far better value than any drawing pads you can buy. Lin
