Is it my imagination or has paper quality drastically declined in the past couple of years? I get so tired of fighting big gobs of crap coming out of C1S or scrubbing the slime off my blankets left by whatever they're putting into opaque cover these days. I run a 4-28 Akiyama with no feeder...

Hello all, I am a designer, not a printer, so I'm not even sure I'm in the right place here. But, I've got a question which I'm sure you all could easily answer, so here goes: Are there any lines of water-proof (or water-resistant) papers which could be used in offset (or even digital)...
