I've had sort of the opposite experience with dot-matrix printers.  Nylon 
was more expensive, cannot be re-used, but gave a crisper print (important 
when you are submitting scripts for broadcast[*]) whereas cotton tended to 
smudge.

I think I ended up doing the draft on cotton, and the final on nylon.

Then we got cheap laser printers :-)
