The offset and high speed xerography paper that Prime buys in bulk for use in copiers generate a severe curl at top and bottom of page within a few minutes of being printed on either a LaserWriter Plus or a LaserWriter II. This happens for both long grain and short grain variants. The curl is so bad that the document feeders on our Canon copiers won't feed properly if I try to copy a document once the curl has developed. This problem seems to be independent of ambient relative humidity since it also occurred last Winter. I've tried Pro-Tech Laser Bond Paper - SG (#94162), $4.49 for 500 sheets at Staples. I get a slight curl, but much less than with copier paper. Can anyone recommend other types of general purpose 20lb paper for use in a laser printer that will produce output that lays flat? Any other recommendations on how to avoid paper curl will be greatfully accepted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Barry Wolman | barry@s66.prime.com Principal Technical Consultant | 492 Old Connecticut Path Prime Computer | Framingham, MA 01701 | 508/626-1700, ext. 4187 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nothing in this posting reflects an official position of Prime Computer.
