Reflectivity – When dry ink is applied to a smooth surface
paper, such as gloss, the resulting image is sharper because
the image is reflected back in a straightforward direction.

not as sharp because the image reflection is scattered in

Curl – Excessive paper curl may cause jams. The selection of
a low-curl paper within the recommended moisture range will
make a significant difference in the performance of your
copier/printer.
Xerox papers are manufactured with built-in curl control and
work well when loaded into the paper trays in the correct curl
direction.
Some papers are packaged with an arrow printed on one end
of the ream wrapper. The arrow points to the wire side of the
paper. The curl side of the paper, also known as the felt side, is
the opposite side.
Load the paper into the copier/printer's internal paper trays so
the image will print on the wire side of the paper.
Load the paper into the Bypass Tray (also called Tray 5) or
High Capacity Feeder (if available) with the wire side up (curl
side down). It is especially important to load heavy weight
papers into the Bypass Tray with the curl side down.
If more detailed information about loading paper is required,
refer to the user guide for your copier/printer.

Hint: Select paper with a smooth,
