	These are Canadian papers.
	In the USA, you could check Weyerhauser Inkjet, 24 lbs,
	which i'm currently using as my "regular" inkjet paper
	as it's not an obvious proposition to get Rolland stuff
	in a price directed market.

	The Rolland one is sort of exotic as it's mainly a truckload
	by truckload type of factory with rather restricted
	retail distribution, mostly a larger print shops supplier.
	They've got an "attitude" about white paper being
	real super white: when i sold copier paper with
	Gestetner, mine looked yellowish in comparison.
	This super white xerocopy paper is Rolland  ROLOX.

	Normally, Domtar products should not be difficult
	to find in the Northeast USA as it's a major
	manufacturer (probably all over the USA).

	One type i have NOT tried actually is the
	Kodak Inkjet paper: that one could hold up
	to its name . . . Look for 24lbs rather than 20 lbs
	(which is the standard weight for xerocopy);
	24 lbs makes a much "classier" document.

	If you have access to a good printer, perhaps could
	he (they) show up their samples. There are so many
	USA paper manufacturers that you surely would find
	quite more interesting papers there relative to
	the stationery or office supplies stores.

	I hope this info proves helpful.
