Digital BW, The Print

With my 7660 I would like to stick to paper that has been tested.  At 
least the hp stuff has been tested by Wilhelm.  Hp does sell "Premium 
Photo Glossy" in 11x17" and after spending a long frustrating run 
around with their automated phone servers I got confirmation that the 
Premium Photo paper is identical to the Premium Plus Photo paper 
except for the weight.  He did say that it was not designed for the 
printer so if I cut it down to legal size and used it in the 7660 
that I would be voiding my warranty (and didn't like my joke, "Yeah, 
and how are you going to prove that?" :)

Yaaahooo, 8x12"s this weekend with no clogs :)
