I recently had the opportunity to put the Double A Pack of 5 A4 Photo Copy Paper (A4-500) through its paces. Having used countless reams of printer paper over the years, I was keen to see if this pack lived up to the claims of superior performance and reduced jams. My testing involved a variety of printing scenarios, from everyday documents to high-resolution photographs, all designed to thoroughly assess its capabilities.

The Double A A4-500 boasts a smooth paper surface, promising sharp printing and photocopying. The two-sided usage is a definite plus, maximizing the use of each sheet and reducing overall paper consumption. The bright white appearance is also noticeable, creating a high print contrast. Double A emphasizes its precision rotary paper cutting machines, which aim to minimize paper jams.

My testing involved printing approximately 300 pages across various printers (laser and inkjet) with different print settings. The results were largely positive. The smooth surface ensured sharp text and vibrant colours in the printed output. I experienced zero paper jams throughout the entire test period, corroborating Double A’s “No Jam” claims. The brightness of the paper also enhanced image contrast, producing clearer photos. The double-sided printing worked flawlessly, and the paper handled the process without any issues. However, I did notice some slight creasing on a small number of sheets, but this was insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I also performed a more rigorous test simulating the “No Jam” runnability test described in the product description, though on a smaller scale. Over two hours of continuous printing at a brisk pace, there were no paper jams at all. This reinforced the manufacturer’s claims.

While the paper performed exceptionally well with laser printers, I did notice a slightly longer drying time with inkjet printing, particularly when printing photos with a high ink density. This is a minor drawback that is manageable.

Pros:

• Smooth surface for sharp prints and copies
• Bright white appearance for high contrast
• Excellent performance with minimal to no paper jams
• Double-sided printing capability
• High-quality feel

Cons:

• Slight creasing on a few sheets (minor issue)
• Slightly longer drying time with inkjet printing

Overall, the Double A Pack of 5 A4 Photo Copy Paper (A4-500) delivers on its promises. The superior performance and minimal paper jams make it a reliable choice for both home and office use. While there are minor drawbacks, such as occasional creasing and longer inkjet drying time, these are easily outweighed by the overall quality and reliability. I would confidently recommend this paper to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable printing solution.
