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.
