Overview

This is five reams of A4, 2,500 sheets in total, at a standard 80gsm weight that suits home, school and office printing. The smooth surface handles inkjet and laser toner evenly for crisp text and decent colour, and the bright white gives good contrast on letters, forms and invoices. At 4.6 from over 45,000 ratings, it does the job without fuss. Buying five reams at once brings the cost per sheet down, and it will keep a busy household or office printer fed for ages.

How it compares on the office paper shelf

The typical office paper product on our shelf scores 4.6 out of 5, measured across 50 rated products. This one comes in at 4.6. That lands in the bottom quarter. Nothing alarming on its own, though at this money you can find better-rated neighbours, so there should be a particular reason for choosing it.

That score rests on 45,929 ratings. The median for this shelf is 2,702. A score built on that many opinions is hard to shift and hard to game, which is why we weight review volume rather than ranking on stars alone.

On money, this sits in the top third of a shelf running from £1.50 to £37.00, with the midpoint around £6.99. Paying above the middle of the shelf needs a reason the star rating does not supply, because on ratings alone the extra money is not buying an advantage here.
