Problem
Excessive paper curl (continued).
Moiré patterns on the copies
The entire document is not being
copied
7- 6
Suggested Solution
Paper curl may be a result of:
• Allow output to sit for awhile so any excess oil can evaporate
before using them as original documents.
• Copying high density background areas or documents with
alternating high and low density areas results in more curl.
Attempt to reduce the amount of curl by adjusting the image
quality controls to reduce the amount of dry ink on the copies.
• Place the digital press with scanner and paper in a room with air
conditioning and low humidity to minimize the moisture in the
environment.
• Attempt to copy on thicker paper or on paper stock that is less
sensitive to moisture.
• This problem sometimes occurs when original documents have
halftone images. Perform the following suggested solutions in
the following order:
• Select Halftone as the Original Type. If selecting Halftone does
not solve the problem, select Map as the Original Type.
• Rotate the original on the Document Glass by 180 degrees.
• Reduce or enlarge the output by 5%.
• Use the Sharpness feature to select Softer options until the
moiré patterns are not
visible.
• Enter the Original Input.
• Reduce the image.
