Occasional problems in our copier
on May 7, 2009
Posted by: Paula K.
Occasionally the paper will catch (fold an edge on 2-sided copying) and then the print is at the wrong angle on the page even to the point of running off the page. Sometimes a narrow vertical line (1/4" or so space) appears where the toner did not fuse. We've had the machine checked and it clearly is the paper not the machine.
Tried this paper on a few different brands of copier we have and they all eventually had some serious paper jams and we had to have a technicians come out. So the few dollars we saved in buying a less expensive brand of paper cost us more in the long run.
We find that in every case we get lots of sheets that are of different sizes. Some are narrower some are shorter some have been cut at a strange angle. This screws up our large batch printing jobs since we have to go back and reprint specific pages occasionally. I think quality control at the paper mill is a little loose... Either that or staples just uses the rejects for other paper mill customers and sells them at a discount.
We use an extraordinary amount of paper at our school in the copy machines. This paper doesn't get caught in the copier. The brightness is great for general purpose use.
Why buy a Name Brand and spend a lot more? Use the Staples Brand and save ! Our family uses this paper for: Copying payment receipts financial statements important e-mails making copies of anything you want plus children can color on the paper.
