Selecting the Right Paper

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, to how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded.

Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper jam.

Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction. The paper should be loaded so that the natural curl is downward, to counteract the upward curl imparted by the printer. Printed sheets will then come out

￿￿￿￿ flat. Most paper also has a top and bottom surface. Loading instructions are usually given on the paper package.

If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when the paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.

Electrostatic properties: During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the output tray.

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier is usually properly packaged.
