Hi Judi,

No, a laserjet is the name of a series of laserprinters devloped by HP, but using
the Canon machinery in it.
The 4P has 600dpi; the 5MP has 600 dpi and 'gray enhancement' and RET which is a
method of correcting the ugly rectangulars at the borders. The 5MP is printing at a
maximum of 133dpl and has a range 122 levels of gray.

The problem with both toner as ink are, that if you are trying to put a thicker
amount within a very small dot, it will run to the sides. The effect is always
stronger on a harder paper as on a paper that soaks. Acetate taking up nothing at
all, you can guess the effect. Therefor the special transparencies for inkjet are a
kind of frosted, by that enlarging the effective surface on a square whatever size,
just like the mountains give a country a larger amount of 'soil'.

Calque paper is that is either transparent and either opaque, used mostly in the
cartography world the other days. It now exists in a paper version and a kind of
nylon version. The latter likes very much the toner that is for 80% a kind of
plastic as well and it does resist well to the heat of the fuser.

One color at a time, that finally ads up to four days for a, can I say print???

Of course a stupid question as well for you.
The waxed paper is that a print from a laser printer on which fishoil is used to
give the idea of transparency for the UV??

The solution is to use a ink within a inkjetprinter that is blocking the UV. As I
think about the thin layer I'm putting on my skin and that is really an UV blocker,
a small amount hence a thin film should be enough......
Who is going to try out whether the sunburn oil is THE solution for dig prints???
