Imagerunner 1023if printing on glossy paper




By boriquajake on Jul 19, 2008

" "
I have some A5 size, single-sheet brochures that I would like to print phone numbers on. (I use the bypass tray because it is an odd size) Everything works fine when the brochures are on standard paper, but when we tried with some of the flyers that are printed on glossy paper the tend to bind and jam. Is there a way to change the settings so that the machine will accept the glossy paper without jamming?

- Thank you so much. You answer absolutely makes sense. After a few tries I did give up on printing to glossy paper so I hope I have avoided ruining the fuser. Anyway, now I know that in order for that to work (if it will work at all) it will need to be done on an inkjet printer.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello boriquajake,
We are looking at inherent limitations of the copier. The reason the paper appears "glossy" is that it is coated with a type of plastic that does not like going Thru whats called the fuser. This fuser does what its name implies as it "fuses" the toner to the paper by way of extreme heat and pressure. Thru decades of trial and error copier manufactures have found a way to make carbon black and plastique( like the EURO NAME?) along with other confidential compounds into a mixture (called toner) that can survive the extreme heat (370' F and above) and pressure (the sky is the limit here) bond to the paper and successfully exit. However, the nifty glossy paper was designed for an inkjet printer which uses sprayed ink and neither heat or pressure. My final most helpful statement would be that glossy paper was never designed for a copier. And I can promise you that at some point the glossy paper will cause a paper jam in the fusing area that will be very expensive . Since the "gloss " is merely a plastic shine that was never meant to be "re-melted" by the rubber coated rollers......... need I say more. One day you will have a paper jam from hell that will destroy the fuser. I wish I had better news but if you think about it I just saved you a service call, and a significant bill. You are are the working guys/ gals like me that I like to help before you get screwed. Take care.
