Jet Print Photo Multi Project Paper, 8 1/2" x 11", 60/Pack:
Online price is $19.99.
YMMV, I purchased at Staples B&M (in WA state.)

So, is this a national price, or is it only for your local Washington State b/m Staples?

Thanks for the post, willmore.

Do you have the product's SKU? (if it isn't apparent to you, it should be located on the website where you see the $19.99 price)

The SKU would make it a lot easier to do telephone price/inventory checks.

Finally, this wouldn't have been a store in Seattle, would it? If so, which one?

Thanks.

Not to thread crap, but on these YMMV threads I think it should be the thread title so that we know this might be a hot deal we will never get in on. Also it sure would be nice if we had some idea why you got that price. Was it a closeout or just a normal sales price? Thanks for the deal, if there was a local staples I'd go check but they're all too far away to make the drive for what might be a Washington only sale.

yddadnarg,

but you felt the need to threadcrap anyway.

What useful info have you brought lately?

JoeBaD, I think that yddadnarg is trying to be useful by suggesting a format for posting that would make it easier for everyone to sift through the many deals on this board.

He was polite in his suggestion (and appreciative of the original post), so in my book at least, he was not thread-crapping, but instead, making a constructive comment.

So what's the verdict? Does this paper compare to paper from mfr X?

I picked up the last two packs at the Cerritos, CA Staples. IMO this is a very good price, although I have no experience with Jet Print photo paper. From what I've read however, I'm very optimistic that this is good paper (whether it works well with a particular inkjet printer is a whole other ball of wax).

I bought a pack of the IBM glossy photo paper on clearance at Staples.com, 25 sheets for $3, which is relatively cheap IMO. I only printed one sheet with it, but I was very disappointed. It's hard to say what the print image quality is like because I didn't scan the images. However, the paper did not at all hold up well to the ink, and clearly had some warping due to moisture. Although it's glossy paper, it's actually nearly a matte finish (maybe half and half). Personally, I actually prefer matte. Since the problem was a moisture warping problem, I could not recommend the IBM paper for any printer models (assuming all inkjets saturate their paper to some extent).

Finally, some people have reported the Jet Print premium photo paper on clearance at their local Staples (various packs) but I haven't seen it yet at 2 locations.

Also, if you like HP photo paper, OfficeMax B&M is advertising 2 of the 60-pack premium 4"x6" for $19.99 (buy 1 get 1 free). This is not the premium plus paper. I did get Staples to pricematch the identical product. Half off is still not as cheap as some of the clearance deals out there, but a competitive price on HP photo paper that rarely goes on sale. YMMV as there is some variety in weekly circulars by region.

Yes the JP premium photo paper is on clearance too. I picked up a 60pk of 8.5 x 11 sheets for 7.50. The sku is 476887. They also have the 24pk of 4 x 6 for 1.50, sorry didn't get the sku.

I got 4 packs of the 24pk 4x6. I can honestly say that is was the crappiest paper i have used. It was thin, and didnt take the ink very well. I was using a 785epx. I have had good exp. with the canon high gloss paper. Very thick but kinda pricey. I picked up some when it was buy 2 packs get one free.
Hope that helps/.
