I wonder if any Watermark papers actually work well with the DeskJets. Did they say anything about Strathmore Papers since those seem to be pretty good papers. > 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. > Actually, you can try it since both Mead and Hammermill sends free samples of the papers that they make... Hammermills come in packs of 10 for samples while the Mead ULTRATECH 24lb comes in sample of 25 sheets... Both Hammermill and Mead has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. The number for Mead is 1-800-832-MEAD and the number for Hammermill is 1-800-242-2148. Let me know how they compare. Hammermill sends by RPS while Mead uses UPS for the shipping of the samples. > Paul Cheers, Vince vince@kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu UCLA Physics/Electrical Engineering
