About a year ago I bought some HP Semi Gloss paper for my ink jet and discovered that my Epson printer will not print on it. The paper didn't absorb the ink. I didn't throw the 100 sheets away figuring that a miracle would come along and make it useful.
Today I tried the HP paper printing black and white photos with my wife's HP LaserJet 6L printer and low and behold I got photo quality black and white prints. The laser printer only prints at 600 dpi but the appearence of the print belies that on the paper. They come out beautiful with a sheen like I used to see on gravure printed books.
I am so happy because I found a really cheap way to print black and white.
