  • Page 26: Print Material Characteristics

    Curl is the tendency of paper to curve at its edges. If curl is exces- sive, it can cause paper feeding problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling.
  • Page 27 Moisture content The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its per- formance.
