Close... the secret of inkjet paper is that it is short-grained, and prevents the ink from spreading. This is a problem inherent in shooting wet ink; special paper seems to be the best solution. The paper is also slightly glossy, although I'm not sure how important that is. ---------- Nathan Meyers hp-pcd!nathanm
