Re: OT: photo paper for Xerox Phaser 8400

[Herb Chong]

my understanding from others who have tried this is that the tonal range of 
the printers isn't good enough to replace inkjet prints. it's good for 
proofing and other things where color fidelity and longevity aren't 
important. they are supposed to be far faster than typical inkjet printers.

I'm not asking if I should get one, I already have one.  It's sitting in 
my
basement, working its virtual butt off for my wife's business, which 
bought
it.  My concern is what type of paper I should use for photos.  I think 
it's
been established that glossy paper is worth trying, and I'm going to 
assume
that it should be colour laser paper, since both the Phaser and colour
lasers are relatively hot printing processes, while an ink jet is cold (or
room temp) print process.
