5 Tips in Printing Using Different Types of Inkjet Papers

There are different kinds of papers that you can mount on inkjet printers, the double sided, heavy and thick papers are common. But maintaining the machine and its printing quality is a hard work to do. So, I came up with these few tips that can help in your printing venture.

Always keep in mind that even there are same inkjet printer models they are different in function, operation and specifications. Better not to expect the same result or process of maintenance if you obtained one another.

Here are some useful tips to help maintain your machine in good condition.

1. Using your printer often requires daily maintenance. You can use cotton art papers and also a especially designed two sided inkjet papers, maintain your feed mechanism clean often. Don't forget to clean the feed rollers of your printer after a box of matte paper you use, because the coating makes each sides very smooth and might result in wrong feed of papers.
2. In placing your paper on the tray, avoid pushing the paper tray guide against the paper leaving no space in between. The best thing to do is leave more the 1/4 inch of gap between the paper and the guide. Also, place a stiff card stock or even a chip board on the bottom feed of the sheet tray. This will able to keep your paper upright and closer to the feed rollers. But make sure when you do this your print count are set to avoid not to feed the board.
3. Allow a little amount of air to release excess of coating or paper dust, and to easily separate paper sheets. You can use fan.
4. Curling the edge of the paper slightly upward. Why you need to do this? It can help the printer to process more easier.
5. Use your printer's special functions/features (usually on heavy types of paper). This will allow your printer to function correctly and avoid printing errors. Adjust your setting according to the kind of paper you are going to use. Check the printer manual if you want to know more about the settings/options of the printer.
