    Thanks everyone for the replies about the paper, do you think the more expensive paper would assist with MOC's scanning better?

    Not a great deal. As the barcode is printed in black and the scanner will be able to function still on a poorly printed MOC

    Ok, thanks for the reply.

    Has anyone else noticed how much more efficient the scanner & hand scanners are on the 10 items or less tills?

    For the two non-perishable items for Christmas this week. Mad has chosen a couple of cans of ham (premium) (err hopefully). OK I know you all poo pooed Mads brilliant idea. However, you all need to think on, when you is all looking for a turkey, Mad will be scraping the floor for a tangerine :p

    Far superior! Although most copier paper is 80g/m 2. Which means per square metre the weight of the paper would be errrrr 80g. But it doesn't stop there.....it's all dependent on the way it is woven and the quality to produce the end result. It's the same as if you receive a dodgy five pound note....the weight is there, but if you feel it, the quality is not. If memory serves me correctly Tesco's value range is 75g/ m2. OK for most of our MOC's but anything heavy on ink i.e. the pizza express one will tend to "bleed through". Thus, the HP paper having been woven to a higher standard will tend to absorb the ink to a higher standard and therefore a greater transparency. One last thing, if you are using an Epson printer don't use kodak paper for your photograhs. Prints OK but when it dries becomes pixalated.

    HTH,
    Mad :)

    Wow, MM5, I'm impressed with ur explanation!:T One does not only learn about MOCs on this tread but also many other important things 2 go with them...:o:p TY!

    It was to drag a couple of items back each week to save on the mad Xmas shop. We've all seen it, families of five pushing two shopping trollies. Mad just thought it would be easier if we all got a couple of things every week then come Xmas it would only be fruit and veg :)
