OFFICE DEPOT HAS IT MADE FOR THEM

As is always the case, the troll is spouting misinformation either
intentionally or due to his absolute lack of knowledge and experience with
printing. Office Depot does not have Great White paper produced for them.
Great White Paper is manufactured by International Paper Company and is
available from nearly all major office supply chains and many online
vendors.

I think, for instance, that Canon printers (of which I have one) have
long been noted for not printing well on Kodak papers-- the colors just
don't come out right. For this reason I think your experiment is flawed
and does not actually show you which printer prints best. Use the
correct papers for each printer and then you'll get more accurate
results.


That has not been my (limited) experience. I see no color difference between
Kodak and Canon.

I was told that IP makes most of the papers, but with difference specs for
each of the printer manufacturers.

While IP may produce private label paper for different outlets, if the paper
label says Great White, then the sheet is the same regardless of who sells
it.

ARE YOU TRYING TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL

For people who are unfamiliar with the Microsoft MVP program, a bit of
background. For quite a few years now, Microsoft has had a group of
people who are continually looking for people who provide service and
help to the technology communities, so they can recognize these people
for their time and effort. Typically, these are people who use their own
time, without pay, to help others.

Some of these people come to Microsoft's attention from another awarded
MVP. Some they encounter in their own searches, and some are nominated
by still others. Anyone can make a nomination. The person's record is
then followed for about a year, to see if they meet the standards of the
program. They are then further scrutinized by people within MS
technical areas to see if the information they provide is useful and
accurate. They are obviously not looking for people who love MS,
because over the years, I have been outspoken about quite a number of
things I don't agree with about the company. Currently, the program
lists about 3000 people, from I believe about 80-90 countries worldwide.

The award lasts one year, and then each individual is again evaluated
for his/her value to the communities they serve. I have been re-awarded
for three years, now. Some have been at it for many more years than I
have been. Those who know me are aware I have not previously indicated
that status on this newsgroup, and the only time I have used my award
status in my signature on a public group was last week when I posted the
information regarding the WMF Vulnerability, and I did so intentionally
so people would know where the information was coming from, since it had
to do with a patch from Microsoft. Most of us are on multiple lists and
groups.

The MS MVP Printing and Imaging group is one of, if not the, smallest
MVP group. I think there are 8 of us worldwide. Comp.periphs.printers
has two regulars here and a handful of others who occasionally show up,
one other from the P&I group and a few from other groups.

It is up to each individual as to if they wish to publicize their
affiliation with the MVP program.

Art,
If you think 8 people in the Print/Imaging Group is small, you should have
been there when it was just myself and one other MVP doing the support for
Microsoft Publisher. Now the group has 5 active MVP's and a couple from
other groups that also contribute. I finally got burned out trying to keep
up with the pace and quit the program in 2002, but it was a good experience.
I especially enjoyed going to the MVP Summit at Redmond in 2000.
