Premium Glossy Photo Paper in Laser Printer
TObject
Any idea if it is ok to put Epson Premium Glossy Photo
Paper in a color laser printer? I know it is ok thickness
wise, but I am not sure if there is some coating on the paper
that may dislodge and damage the imaging unit or something.
Don't send me to the printer manufacturer; they claim that
I should always use only their specific brand of papers.
I just want to print the same image on the Inkjet and Laser
using the same paper, and compare the results. This is a laser
printer with one of those "Photo" modes.
If this isn't something I should not be doing, what thick glossy
paper will you recommend for laser?

Unless you get clear, definite confirmation that it is OK, don't even
try it. If the glossy surface isn't adequately heat-proof it could wreck
your printer when it melts onto the heater & rollers :-(

to the coating. It won't ruin anything, but you will have to clean up
some toner.
Xerox makes some good stuff, but it's over a $100 per ream.

If you value your laser printer, DON'T underany circumstances use
INKJET gloss paper, the coating would melt off in the fuser. There
are several Gloss papers available for use in laserprinters.

Inkjet coating is not heat resilient. Using (even 1 sheet) of inkjet paper
in laser printer can severely damage the printer.
Yes XEROX does make nice 100 lb coated/semi glossy laser paper at CAN $1.41
per letter sheet.
Jenson Digital makes laser paper as good or better at 1/10 of the price.

really a friend... <g>) The coating will melt off of glossing inkjet
paper, leaving you with a horrendous mess and possibly a broken
printer.
With a lot of work, he was able to get the printer working again. He
then tried HP's glossy photo paper for lasers (it's an HP 4500). The
results weren't bad, but they pale next to any good quality inkject
printer.
