Note that I never mentioned _high_ cotton content. The paper I use doesn't
mention how much cotton it contains, but I would guess that it contains less
than 10 percent.
The brands I use are DomTar Victory Bond and Custom Paper Ltd. Custom Bond,
both of which are probably found only here in Western Canada.
Concerning the cost, US $1.00 = CAN $1.20 (approximately). The cheapest paper
we have here is around $9.00.
By the way, I tried Hammermill Fore DP Long Grain ("for Hi-Speed Xerographic
Copiers/Offset Duplicators/Laser Printers") and was really disappointed; the
bleeding was so bad that the final copy was unusable (for business, anyway).
