With all the digital photography, and photo paper being pretty expensive, this paper is an excellent choice as an alternative. Because of its smooth, no rag content finish, the ink does not absorb into the paper and produces clear, beautiful prints of photos. It is also a great paper for presentation packages. I have recommended this for church directories containing photos and also professional looking brochures. Excellent buy!

Hammermill is known for making quality paper, and they have certainly done a fine job with this color copier/laser paper. The 28-lb. weight and ultra-smooth surface give this paper a very professional feel. When compared to regular 20-lb. copy paper, there is no comparison. While the regular copy paper feels somewhat rough, when running your fingers or hand over it, this Hammermill 10246-7 premium paper feels silky smooth. It makes for the perfect surface for a color laser printer or color copier, and greatly reduces the problems associated with paper dust.

I only have two minor complaints with this paper. First of all, Hammermill now claims to have improved this paper, giving it a "100" brightness rating. When I compare it to some HP manufactured 28-lb. laser paper, with only a "98" brightness rating, the HP paper is noticeably brighter. How can this be? 100 should definitely be brighter than 98. Well somehow Hammermill found a way to slip a 100 brightness rating onto a paper that looks to be more like a 96 brightness. I also found, after switching from the comparable HP 28-lb. paper to the Hammermill brand, that I have some spots that the toner doesn't adhere to well. I want to point out, this is usually only on the first page that I print, when the printer has just previously been in power save (sleep) mode. I assume the fuser just doesn't get hot enough for the toner to uniformly bond to the first page. However, I never had this problem with the HP paper, so I feel it could have something to do with the surface properties of the paper itself. Still, I don't blame this issue on Hammermill. This is very good paper, and I got it a couple of bucks cheaper, per ream, than the HP brand.

Overall I am very happy with the Hammermill 10246-7 28-lb. color copier/laser paper, and I highly recommend it.

This paper is great for a professional look and feel. It makes your client deliverable's look so much more professional. I use Inkjet printers, and it works great. This is my paper of choice.

Hammmermill's color copy paper gives color prints very good appeal.
Works well for every day and professional use and gives favorable compliment to all-in-one printers.
