Clue No. 3: Treat paper properly

Paper reacts very sensitive to temperature and humidity.

So here are some ground rules which help to accomplish better looking prints:

Acclimate: Paper to printer the day before.

• Store your paper close to your printer the day before you use it. This way it can acclimate, that is: getting used to the printer´s environment.
• Do not open the ream with force, handle it carefully.
• If you use high-quality paper, you do not have to fan it out.
• Pay attention to the arrow on the package: It points to the side of the sheet which is to be printed on first.
• Leave the paper in the package until you begin your print job.
• Close partly used packages.
