Please log in for more thread options copy-drum. I don't know why this happens to me and nor does the engineer. Are any ill effects caused by using "inkjet paper" in a laser printer. ISTR inkjet paper has an extra coating on it. I wonder if inkjet paper does not work quite right with the toner technology in a laser printer/copier. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Yes, the coating on inkjet papers are not formulated to take the heat of the fusing process in a laser printer. The worst case scenario is the coating melts and adheres to the hot fuser assembly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Coated paper was necessary for older printers printing at high resolution. E.g. my old Epson Stylus 500 printer had nozzles much larger than current printers and put out so much ink at 720 dpi that coated paper was needed. The coated paper is much more expensive than uncoated paper and it is unlikely that your paper is coated unless you intentionally paid the high price to get it. -- Mike Walsh | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Although inkjet printers have developed more refined inks and heads which produce a more presentable result on uncoated paper, all "fine art" and photographic quality papers for inkjets are still indeed coated, or have chemistry incorporated within them for controlling dot gain, and proper ink distribution to get the dynamic range required. Yes, there are a lot of uncoated papers available for inkjet use, but they are almost all a compromise of quality over the coated papers. Art Mike Walsh wrote: >

Please do not top-post. Your answer belongs after (or intermixed with) the quoted material to which you reply, after snipping all irrelevant material.
