Which glossy paper are you using? How (if at all) do you control the
half toning? Are you printing "color" images on a monotone printer or
are you converting the images to black and white before printing?
I suspect they are commenting (retro 50's) on the pronounced grain and
contrast from the output of a laserjet?
I've never tried to print black and white on a laser. The color laser
prints I've seen were so horrible, I'd never considered black and
white on a good glossy paper. I may have to try it.
