I said medium grade because the newspaper article suggested
that it was: lets see if I can find the article...
Yes, "Hammermill Jet Print (200 sheets for $5) produced
marginally better results than the quality laser bond
and significantly better color than my everyday paper. But
it didn't come close th the coated paper." The coated paper
here was Avery Brilliant Color stock ($.16/sheet). The Jet
Print is "a relatively inexpensive paper marketed for ink
jet printers".
I agree that it is a bit stiffer than our normal printer fodder.
I haven't tried the Mead. I guess you don't recommend it.
