Paper Curl Correction
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the heat source. High dry ink/toner coverage jobs tend to curl more due to the dry ink/toner plastification effect on the paper surface.
Many variables can cause Paper curl, which includes:
• The weight of the paper and whether it is coated or uncoated
• The amount of dry ink/toner and the area that is covered on a sheet: the heavier the coverage, the greater the tendency to curl
• How the paper is loaded in the tray, load the paper as instructed on the ream wrapper
• The atmospheric conditions of the room where the paper is stored, especially those related to humidity and temperature
• The heat generated during the fusing processes
Tip:
Successful paper curl correction varies from day to day. A successful setting used on one day cannot be successful on another day. This is especially relevant if the room in which press is located experiences changes in temperature and humidity.
