Steve, I'm still fighting with this paper to try and find something that will work with color, and not having much luck. The ink doesn't seem to rub off after it dries, and it doesn't seem to bleed through to the other side even when over inked. When I contacted Hammermill about this paper, they simply said it was designed for office type inkjet printers (whatever that means) even though it says it works with all inkjet printers. I imagine it will work best with a thermal inkjet printer, but I bet it fades quickly too. Text in black only looks OK with the photo black ink that I have installed, but larger areas quickly over ink. That's why I think that it should work well with QTR because you could set the ink limits so that you don't get too much ink. This paper is about the same thickness as most heavy offset pages, and the soft gloss makes it look like high end offset printing paper. I think it may also have a uniform grain for portrait oriented books, but would probably be OK for landscape orientation too. For the price it is probably worth a try, I bought mine at Staples, so you should hopefully find it at just about any good office supply place.
