Digital BW, The Print

For a particular set of images, I want to use the relatively 
crude graphic output of my laser printer. I am wondering if anyone 
knows of a paper (or papers) that would be comparable in thickness, 
feel, and resistance to yellowing as inkjet photo papers but 
that will work with a laser printer. Or, alternatively, has anyone 
put inkjet printers through a laser printer and successfully 
printed on them without messing up the printer? If so, which 
papers?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

I've used quite a few different papers in my laser printer.
Never tried inkjet paper, but I have used paper as thick
as card stock.  The only thing I have noticed though is that
it doesn't do well with highly textured paper -- the smoother
the better.

I believe some laser printers heat the paper more than others do and 
that some of the thicker cover stocks are laminated and might 
delaminate from the heat. So I'd try to scope this out.

I like all weights of Crane's cover stock and guess the dot gain 
(it's all-cotton) will matter less with laser toner than with ink jet 
inks, which is all I've used on it.

Incidentally, Epson's C-80 is, I've heard, a relatively good 
plain-paper page printer. And I guess the 2200 will feed thicker 
stock and with the Matte-and-Matte black option is, in effect, a 
bigger and better C-80. Maybe still crude enough though.
