Humidity?

[allan]

Hi there

Does anybody knowledge about room air condition to get the wrinkle curl out of printed paper?
Would an air conditioner be of any help?

Do i need to humidify the room? Its winter around here and the air is dry.

Usually you get the excessive curl due to too much humidity. i.e. A/C left off at night/over the weekend and the paper absorbed some of the moisture in the air.
I live in Houston, TX and humidity is a huge factor here.

I live in North Carolina. It's like a sauna here. Sounds like some crappy paper. An old army trick to remove moisture from paper is to take a metal cabinet, bore a hole in it, install a light bulb and now you have a paper incubator.

We call them "post it" notes in the states.

So i baked some paper today. Removed it from the wrapping and stuck it in the oven for 2 hour at 65°C. I seemed to help a bit but not to much.

I had to set the DipSw on the BH601's form -15°C to -5°C on the fusser because of bad buildup on the cleaning web. That kind off worked for the paper curl with the higher temp but that would not work for long runs.

In a case like that, I would get a ream from a different source. Sometimes the paper gets contaminated where it is stored.

Your right, the paper used to be stored on the floor. I changed that and got fresh stock. Its better already but not good enough for glue binding. The edges of the book is wrinkled, and the book is combined from jobs printed from different machines. I asked them to compile the entire book into one PDF so at least the waves runs in the same grain due to the book being printed on one machine.

Already did more than 5M prints on three B601's in a year. The end customer got the same quality book from that time and know they are moaning about it so.

I can get a second hand B1050. Can anybody comment on that machine's ability to decurl paper?

Wrinkles are usually caused by the fuser in my experience. Have you checked it for a worn out pressure roller?

I do change them when worn out, all of the machines are doing the same thing even the C360 and the C452's.
