still having Canon I860 printing problem

Hey guys,

I'm still hoping someone can tell me what type of paper to use with my
Canon I860 printer to be able to use a highlighter on it. I can highlight
my professor's handouts just fine. I e-mailed him and asked him what paper
he uses. In the meantime I figured I'd plea again for help. I'm using
Office Depot paper (84bright and 20lbs). It's better than the bright white
inkjet paper I bought by HP. That was way to glossy. If someone has paper
that has tried a highlighter on and worked even on the Canon I850 please
let me know.

Michael,

I use Georgia-Pacific "Advantage" paper. 24 lb. 94 "Ultra White" that
I buy at Costco. It is GP number 135906. I use both Avery "HI-LITER"
and Sanford "POCKET ACCENT" highlighters. Print on the i860 with
grayscale printing checked.

No smears (unlike that POS HP printer that I replaced. HP support
claimed their ink was okay, and to use another brand highlighter.
What a crock of *shit).

YMMV. Hope this helps.....Sam in Phx

I didn't try grayscale. I bet that was my problem. I appreciate you taking
my problem seriouslly unlike that first jerk-off . I definitely am going to
try a couple of pages now that my settings are different. Do you put your
print quality on draft?

I keep mine set on "standard" with grayscale checked. I change it
when needed for color. I use preview just to make sure I get what I
think I asked for :)
Good luck.....I love my i860
