James River makes a 24lb. laser paper, but I >haven't had a chance to try it. I was somewhat misled, the 24lb. paper that was on order is not from James River. Anyway, I just got the 24lb. paper. It's "Weyerhaeuser First Choice Premium Office Machine Paper (item 1176). Despite the name, it works pretty well. Marginally less sharp that the Pro-Tech, but it's a nice heavy paper, and much better than the high cotton content laser paper that I've seen that claims to be good for ink jets. You could print on both sides of this paper without worrying about saturation. For comparison, I think I paid about $4.60 for a ream of the Benchmark paper, $6.60 for the Pro-tech, and $7.60 for the Weyerhaeuser. preston@lll-crg.llnl.gov [the United States has] "no opinion on your border dispute with Kuwait" - U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie, July, 1990 D.
