Alan,

Unless I'm missing something, I think Gordon is looking to print negatives
for gum printing.  I've found that laser paper works pretty well for that.

Does the Hahnemuhle paper have a watermark or visible texture/patterns?  Can
it be waxed or oiled for use as a negative?

Keith

Gordon:

The inkjet printer quality is very dependent on the paper.  Laser paper in
an inkjet is  a disaster.  Cheap inkjet paper is ok for text but images are
poor.  I use a 120 Photo Matte paper by Hahnemuhle as an adequate proofing
paper.  It is not terribly expensive, $15.00 for 50 sheets of 8.5 by 11.
Being a cheapskate, I often cut it into quarters in making test prints.
