My various flags have been largely a product of the ink-jet printer at home with a leavening of bought ones. Work recently purchased an very expensive laser colour printer & I ran a few flags off of that. The result is, starting with my SYW armies & my SAGA warbands, I'm replacing every flag with the product of the laser printer. The difference in colour, detail & clarity is THAT pronounced.
BTW free images from the net & an accommodating boss make this a cheap, if time-consuming exercise: just the cost of a few sheets of superior copy paper.

I just bought a base model HP laser jet and was pretty impressed with the first batch of ACW flags I printed off compared with those from my old ink jet. I find that high quality paper usually sold for printing resume's (or CV's in your part of the world) has a high enough rag/cotton count to give a good impression of cloth. |

Laser printers are awesome once you get past the original cost. Inkjets get you on the cost of ink and faulty "expiration" tags. |

I'd agree paper quality is an important consideration. |
