[Snip] > David Perhaps a little more research beforehand... ;-) Point 1) Ryman's own, either for photographic paper, or advice on the subject is a total nono! Or to quote a tennis player. "You cannot be serious!" Point 2) AIUI. Never ever put general purpose gloss or semi gloss photo papers through a Laser printer. (As you've later discovered). Matt photo papers are supposed to be okay. I looked into colour Laser printers a while back, to replace my cloggy inkjet, but after some research decided I would have to continue down the inkjet route. The quality of the examples I was given were okay but not exceptional, however the paper problem was for me an immediate nono, as I need to use a mixture of both glossy and matt papers in my work.
