Hey guys,

I'm still hoping someone can tell me what type of paper to use with my
Canon I860 printer to be able to use a highlighter on it. I can highlight
my professor's handouts just fine. I e-mailed him and asked him what paper
he uses. In the meantime I figured I'd plea again for help. I'm using
Office Depot paper (84bright and 20lbs). It's better than the bright white
inkjet paper I bought by HP. That was way to glossy. If someone has paper
that has tried a highlighter on and worked even on the Canon I850 please
let me know.

Michael,

I use Georgia-Pacific "Advantage" paper. 24 lb. 94 "Ultra White" that
I buy at Costco. It is GP number 135906. I use both Avery "HI-LITER"
and Sanford "POCKET ACCENT" highlighters. Print on the i860 with
grayscale printing checked.

No smears (unlike that POS HP printer that I replaced. HP support
claimed their ink was okay, and to use another brand highlighter.
What a crock of *shit).

YMMV. Hope this helps.....Sam in Phx
 
I didn't try grayscale. I bet that was my problem. I appreciate you taking
my problem seriouslly unlike that first jerk-off . I definitely am going to
try a couple of pages now that my settings are different. Do you put your
print quality on draft?

I keep mine set on "standard" with grayscale checked. I change it
when needed for color. I use preview just to make sure I get what I
think I asked for :)
Good luck.....I love my i860
 
Try Ilford.
