John,

I use Hammermill Laser Print paper.  Best price I've seen is $48/case
plus shipping from Laser's Edge (800-635-8088), but that was a Summer
Special.  Still worth a call.

A case of Laser Print paper is 4,000 sheets (eight 500-sheet reams),
not 5,000.

	"I do not know about camera ready copy, but I use Hammermill
	Laser Plus, and I think it's a very good paper for my Laserjet II."

	"I use Hammermil Laser Plus (with wax holdout) or Laser Print (for 2
	sided).  Almost every paper manufacturer makes a special paper for
	this purpose.  It has a smoother surface by about two orders of
	magnitude.

	"Under a microscoe, a regular paper looks like a pile of logs with tar
	spilled all over them.  The smooth papers look like a pile of pick-up
	sticks with oil spilled over them.  Probably about a 3 times better
	edge resolution -- maybe more."
