Hi
 OK, this question is for those who live in the U.S.
 I have been using Staples paper for TT, with really
 good results. My understanding is this is no longer available?
If so, what does work? I have tried Office Depot photo paper
and does not, has plastic coating on it.
Thanks
Jeri

I can't really answer your question regarding what
paper is good or not good or TT.  But I'd like to
ask a question relative to your (and others) statement
that some inkjet papers have a "plastic" coating.

Please describe the "plastic" coating?

Anyone else have a definition/description of
this "plastic" coating??

Thanks

It is some thermoplastic material that will stick to the board like crazy.
Did not cause any trouble in the printer though, in the fuser. Maybe the  
teflon coating was enough to keep it from sticking to the roller, or it  
did not melt quickly enough. But it stuck to the board like hot-melt glue.

The paper i have which is like that actually says "ceramic coating" on the  
outside. What nonsense.
But it works well to make cover sheets for printouts, since the toner is  
firmly attached to the plastic coating and it is nice and glossy.
