I've never been picky about "brightness" or "weight" in the past; in fact, I didn't even know what I was using for brightness and weight until I checked my old package before ordering this out of curiosity. So I think it's important to point out, that I am apparently not very paper picky. But here's what I observed with this slightly more premium paper. I compared a sheet of this Hammermill 97 bright/24lb with my old Staples 92 bright/20 lb side by side. I could see the Hammermill is definitely brighter. Feeling-wise, I couldn't feel a huge difference. I 'guess' the Hammermill feels heavier/smoother - but not by much, the brightness difference seemed more noticeable for me personally. I printed a small graphic clip-art of a rainbow with a pot of gold on the old and the new paper, just to see how the color comparison would be. Sure enough, the colors DO look better on the Hammermill 97 bright. Not a huge difference, but if you print things with color that are important or if you do color-oriented printing-type crafts often, then this does seem to make the colors look better, they just seem to 'pop' a little more against the brighter background. Not drastically better, but noticeably better.
That said, I personally rarely print color graphics or photos, I do 98% or more of my printing as basic black-ink letters, articles, etc., so I don't care too much about color appearance. As far as jamming: I've personally never had any jamming issues with the 20lb Staples paper, in fact, I'm not sure I've ever had a single jamming issue with it that I can recall. So while this 24lb weight is said to jam less, it seems to me a moot point. I use a home model Brother brand inkjet printer, if that helps. So my walk-away is this: If you do a lot of color printing and care about colors being more sharp, this does seem to be a nice brightness for that. Weight and quality-wise, it feels very similar to my Staples 20lb paper; slightly better, but not enough difference for me to care. So for me personally, next time I need to order, I'd see if this was on sale and if so, I would definitely order it again, it's nice paper. But if I saw 92 bright/20 lb pack of 5 reams of another brand that was cheaper, I'd be perfectly content with that too and would prefer the savings, given that I do so little color printing.
