I've been using some medium weight, 18-20-lb stock, in my DJ PLUS.  Seems
to work well.  I do need to try some LASER printer or copier paper to see
how well it works.  Two things:

	o  Supposedly, you're s'pose to print on the side with the water
	   mark but I haven't seen any differences yet.

	o  On using Xerographic paper, there is a right and wrong side which
	   can not be seen.  There should be an arrow on the side of the paper
	   wrapper that points to the `good' side.  [This is according to the
	   Owner's Manual with my DJ PLUS.]

I, quite honestly, haven't seen a difference on the stock that I'm using.
