Do you actually mean that the Jetprint is a -Vince-> medium grade paper or do they have different grades of -Vince-> Hammermill Jetprint? Have you tried the Mead Inkjet -Vince-> paper? That paper didn't seem to make any difference but -Vince-> the Jetprint seems to be good except the paper is kind of -Vince-> hard to fold. 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. Paul
