Hello Sir Stefan,
Yes, the paper I have was bought at Wal-Mart a few
months ago. It has a picture on the front. The picture
is a small girl with her hands around the neck of a
brown and white calf.
The info on the box is this...
Inkjet/Glassy/8.5" X 11"/8.5 mil/175g/m2 47lb/25
sheets
The name of the paper on top of the picture says...
HP Photo Paper
A caption under the picture of the girl says...
Glossy photo paper with an instant dry finish
On the back of the box, in the lower right hand
corner, there is area with this...
C1846A
copyright 2004
Hewlett-Packard
Development Company,L.P.
Other then that, I do not see a part number, other
then the caption in the lower right hand corner. It
may be C1846A.
In ref to your density...I have tried and put my paper
back into the printer, to have the toner apply another
coat on top of the first....and it came out perfect.
So then I did it three more time...a total of five
times through the printer. Not bad at all, if you need
that extra density on your prints. Give that a try.
But since I have been using the paper, I only run the
paper through the printer once...and get unbeleable
results! Now I can really get down, and do some great
circuit drawing in the Paint Program on Windows 98.
If you are familar with the Paint Program, the program
has five different settings for making a 'dot'. I used
the small setting, and that single dot came out...on
the PCB...just as it showed up on my print. Now that's
getting down right good!
Yes, if you want to see a picture of what the box
looks like...let me know...and I will put it out on my
website for you to see what it looks like.
But I would assume that your printer can still be
used...trying the 'run through again' process in the
printer.
When it came time for the iron, I pressed real hard
for 30 seconds...and it came out perfect...no smears
at all...no pin-holes at all...
So then I tried for 2 minutes, just to see what would
happened...and no different then ther 30 second. No
smears appeared...and that really impressed me.
