> The  responses  I got seem to be fairly well split over Hammerhill Laser
> Plus and CF Laseredge.  Both papers are coated to help  lock  toner  and
> prevent  diffusion  into  the  base.   Both  papers  are extremely white
> (reflective, bright).  I got a sample pack of  both  papers  and  tested
> them  using  a  newsletter  that  contained six different fonts and some
> fairly straight forward graphics (no  greyscale  or  great  detail)  and
> found the CF Laseredge paper to be the best.  CF Laseredge is very, very
> white  which really made for sharp images and the coating seemed to work

> an Apple Laserwriter Plus to produce the newsletter.

> Inmac Laser Paper and Xerox 4024 Dual-Purpose 28lb. where also mentioned
