Actually I found that a light color background actually works
slightly better than straight black and white pages. The toner seems
to embed itself slightly less into the paper and as a result the
paper backing comes off leaving less pulp in denser toner areas. I
use a laminator so I haven't noticed any bubbling like that. If the
paper has been setting around for a while (soaking up moisture)
sometimes it can react differently. Most of the time I use fresh
trade magazines that they keep sending me, so they haven't been on my
desk long...
Sorry to interject; I've just had a couple of people ask me about the
magazine stock I've been using the last couple of days.
