I agree with everything you had to say, EXCEPT your use of the term
recycled. I've never had any problems at all with "factory fresh" recycled
paper. It's "reused" paper-- paper that has been through the printer
before in it's current "lifetime" that is prone to causing jams &tc.
Sorry to get semantic, but I'd hate to see somebody stop buying recycled
paper because they incorrectly believe that it's going to hurt their printers.
Counterarguments are welcome, of course.
