Digital BW, The Print

>>> Given its price and the dual sided coating it might be a paper that I
could use for books.

A warning about RR Aurora paper and the B9180 (and presumably the other HP
printers as well, but I haven't used them)Š

This paper is not sufficiently dry when the ink hits the rollers. Therefore
prints comes out of the printer with thin, semi-glossy smudge lines along
the length of your matte surface paper. (View the paper at a sharp angle.)
It took me two years to solve this problem:
Stand in front of your printer with a hair dryer at low temperature, but
high/higher force, blow air over the top of the paper surface, back and
forth across the front of the printer, from start to finish. This is tedious
but solves the problem completely.

Red River told me they would look into this problem. They never did. HP of
course, doesn't care.
