Important Information Relating To Paper Curling and Your Laser Checks
and Forms
We use high-quality, laser-grade paper with moisture content that meets
industry guidelines to ensure that your products print seamlessly.
However, regardless of paper quality, paper curling can occur when there
is a change in humidity or temperature. This can cause problems when
feeding your checks through your printer or stacking them after
printing.
To reduce these problems, please do the following:
- Store your laser documents in an air-conditioned or
climate-controlled environment. The ideal storage environment
is 65 - 75 degrees Fahrenheit with 45 - 55% humidity.
- If you move your documents to an environment with a different
temperature or humidity, let them sit 24 hours to acclimate
to the new environment before you print.
- Store your laser documents flat in their original inner
carton. Do not stack other items on top.
- Completely fill the printer tray, even if you are only
printing a few documents.
- Fan the paper to remove static before you load it into the
printer.
- Keep your printer maintained as it will also help reduce
paper feeding and jamming issues.
