Oxford Loose Leaf Paper, Filler Paper, Notebook Paper, 8-1/2" x 11", College Rule, 3-Hole Punched, Paper for 3-Ring Binders, 500 Sheets Per Pack (62349)

I have never really paid a huge amount of attention to notebook paper, but after using this, I will from now on. It is far and away better than the other name brand paper in my notebook right now. You can actually tell where I put this brand in because it is more opaque and less prone to wrinkling than the other paper, even though it is exactly the same thickness. The lines are crisper too! I compared it to yet another paper in a different notebook, and it's the same. This is just a better paper.I will buy this from now on.

Believe it or not, paper quality makes a difference. Paper grade in the printer is noticed. It is what can make the difference for color brilliance and clarity. The same applies here, actually more so for the writing experience. A good piece of paper will be resilient, feel good to the hand and take the ink from pen. If you can appreciate a high-end writing instrument, especially a fountain pen and you like to write, then good paper is also important.

First of all I don't know why the picture shows Tops brand of paper since what I received and what is advertised is clearly Oxford brand. My package arrived in excellent condition - no wrinkles or tears or other damage and it fits the bill for filler paper for me. I guess I lucked out with the price as when I ordered it a few days ago it was half the price it is today as I write the review. It's a good value for the money at the price I paid, but not so much today ($26.00). I guess with all the tablets in use, college-ruled notebook paper has gone down in demand.

Good paper. I’m using it to create my To Do lists. I just grab about 25 sheets and clip them together with a paper clip and viola , I have a To Do list. I also fold the paper in half, lengthwise, and start writing my list vertically. Then I put it to use. Now if only I had enough time, I might even accomplish something on my list !

Not everyone looks for the same thing in filler paper. So let me tell you what I wanted, and how this paper delivered.1. 8.5 x 11, not 8x10.5 size. I can't tell you how annoying it is to me when full sized printer paper is mixed in with undersized filler paper in a binder. It leaves the binder looking sloppy. Also, larger size means more space for writing on each page, which means fewer sheets of paper are needed for the same amount of writing. This helps keep binders trim as well as neat. Younger children will likely prefer a wide rule and smaller paper, but everyone who uses this paper in my household is in high school or is an adult.2. Just the right weight. I wanted something thin enough to keep binders as trim as possible since we use a lot of filler paper each year. But I want it thick enough to stand up to heavy-handed pen-users (my children). If you prefer a heavier weight paper, or one where you can write in dark pen on both sides of the paper, you may want to look for a heavier weight. Notice that this product is a "medium weight" paper.3. Good texture for pen & pencil use. (ETA: we now use fountain pens and they do feather with most inks) Users of fountain pens, roller ball pens, etc. will no doubt prefer a smoother texture paper. But we use only ballpoint pens and pencils. In fact, I'm a bit of a pencil fanatic and at any given time I have at least 4 varieties of pencil on hand depending on which paper I'm using, and what my purposes are. I love the texture of this paper for both fine-point and medium-point ballpoint pens, and for all my varieties of pencils. It has just enough texture to grab the graphite and create a dark pencil line, but not so rough as to make for coarse, over-textured lines.4. White color. This is the same white as the all-purpose copy/print paper I buy--the perfect balance of white and economy. I can't stand to see yellow filler paper side by side with whiter printer paper.5. Smooth, consistent lines; even holes. Lately I've noticed that cheap filler paper from discount stores have been getting thinner. But also the sheet sizes and hole positions and sizes are becoming inconsistent even within a single packet of 100 sheets. The lines are now thick, now thin from sheet to sheet and even on the same page. The margin width varies, as does the thickness of the red margin line. In fact, the horrid quality of these packets of filler paper is what drove me to Amazon to try to find a good filler paper. This is what I bought, and I haven't looked back since.6. Square corners. I know some people like rounded corners and shiny plastic hole reinforcing along the inner margin. If you do, you ought to look elsewhere. Again, I like for the filler paper to be consistent with the printer paper it lies next to, and this fits the bill. Though I'm not opposed to the plastic along the margin, I don't consider it important, so we choose not to spend extra money for that sort of feature.Yes, the price seems high. But you get 500 sheets of higher quality paper. Consider that at discount stores you pay $.99 for 100 sheets of 8x10.5 wide ruled poor quality paper. Just to get the same number of sheets would cost you $5. Then consider how much it's worth to have clean, thin blue lines, consistent spacing and size, consistent hole position, larger paper size, better texture, whiter color, and better weight. To me, it's worth the extra money.

Even in this day of computers, kids need looseleaf. This is great for those emergency assignments when technology is down!

I go through so much line paper for my classroom. This arrived on time and has lasted pretty long, and for a pretty reasonable price.

The media could not be loaded. The texture of this paper is so pleasing and the lines are consistent and crisp. Some people think it doesn't matter and buy the lowest cost filler paper available, but if you are like me, it does matter, and this is the best filler paper.
