Well, I am trying to go to the direction that Isaac is going.  I have
"plain paper" cartridge installed and I have tried it on "good quality"
printer paper, single sheet bond paper, etc., but I did not like what I
saw.  The quality is not acceptable as NLQ.  Maybe I was not using the
right kind of "plain paper" !  Any idea ?

On the other hand, I have tried the same "plain paper" cartridge on
special inkjet printer paper and I think it is great !  I can image
that if I buy an "original" inkjet cartridge and use it on this
special paper, the result should be very good !!!

So, I think the lesson is: Do not expect miracle from the "plain
paper cartridge" and plain paper combo.  But, again, I may not be
using the right kind of "plain paper" !!!

Oh, well !
