Staples Sustainable Earth Copy Paper (95% Sugarcane)

[fiberdrunk]

It looks like Staples finally listened to the fans of their bagasse notebooks. They're finally offering unlined copy paper in their Sustainable Earth line. It's 95% sugarcane. It's only available online, though, and not in-store. They currently have a buy 2 get 1 free sale, plus free shipping. I haven't tried it, as I only just discovered it-- plus I still have a ton of Office Max's Sugarmade paper. I'm assuming this paper performs as well as their notebooks for fountain pen inks. I haven't met a sugarcane paper that didn't. So this is just a heads up and not a review. I know many love their paper, including myself.

 

eta: this paper is only available by the case; and the sale goes through 7/27/13

I bought a case last month but never got around to posting my review. I should do that.

Yes, please do post a review! Would love to know how it performs before I order. After reading more of the product's Q&A, the paper content is 95% sugarcane and 5% pine-- this differs from Sugarmade, which is 95% sugarcane and 5% bamboo.

Thanks much for the head's up. I'm nearly out of my OfficeMax paper.

And that's a good deal--though 3 cases is a *lot* of paper . . . .

I'll echo the plea for a review!

I wonder if there is any chance they'll start stocking it in the store. The sale is lovely but there's no way I'm spending over a hundred dollars to buy enough paper to last me the next ten years without giving the paper some test run first. Though, yeah, probably a review that was positive enough might get me to buying a single case. Though, I still have half a case of printer paper (NOT fountain pen friendly) left from the one I bought last year at an Office Max sale.

I put my review in the Review and Articles forum.

I was lucky to get a coupon for 1 case just as I needed paper (for the printer) so I didn't have to buy 3 cases.

Staples did have in stock for back to school last year, so I picked up a couple of packs. I has worked very with my fp's for corresponding. No bleed through or feathering with most inks.
