#NEC-890 Recycling

John –
I remembered a suggestion that might also approve NEC-890 print quality.
Things always seem to look better (more contrast) when we use extremely smooth
papers. Hammermill "Laser Plus", which sells for about $6-7/500 sheets works
well. Even better is 80 lb. (offset weight, not bond!) coated semi-gloss
paper. This paper is sold at printing supply stores in 11 x 17" sheets. Most
print shops have a paper cutter which will chop the whole package in half,
giving you 1000 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. If you know a printer, he'll probably do
the job for free.

Hi Kerry,
Funny you should mention Hammermill — I do use their stuff, and I've pretty
much liked it. Have now found an even better paper by the name of LaserEdge –
it's superb. Has a finish much like RC paper, and really outdoes Hammermill.
It's available Graphic Arts Supply, Inc. in NYC. They always have an ad in
"Publish!" magazine, and you can get a sampler of all their papers and
transparencies for $19.95. It's good stuff.
As for the LC890 problems, I called NEC and they advise shipping it in for
service on the developer, the fuser, and more. They said no way should I be
having to use four OPC's with only 6,000 copies on this thing. I will just
have to hope the depot in California can fix it up right, and ship it back to
me in Hawaii in one piece. Thanks again for your comments and help.
Aloha, John
