Yes, 24-lb, 92-bright (OfficeDepot brand). For "in-house" use it may 
be acceptable, but for presentation quality i'm afraid we're stuck 
with printing on one side only. Again, it's not a feature i find all 
that useful and with paper being so readily and cheaply available (Is 
that US$5?) i tend to print with great abandon.

Does anyone have experience with specialty art papers for printing 
two sides, or for any other print applications?

Now that inkjet printers are being used for printing complex 
electronic circuits and even printing out body parts (where do they 
get this primordial soup ink anyway?), i am curious to know; what is 
the strangest substance you have ever printed on or with?
