Back in the day I ran across Risos that used starch for a similar effect as the offset powder, but luckily that was applied at the entrance of the receiving tray so there were no misfeeds. It did make quite the mess if there were even tiny air currents though, which thanks to the speed of the prints entering the receiving tray was exactly always.
Up to a few weeks ago i was having an bi weekly struggle with dust.
Cheap gritty and easily 'fractured' paper will do that - its rarely the end user that gets to decide which paper to use.
Took me two years of whining and crunching numbers to convince my superiors to switch to better quality paper.
Less downtime due to maintenance, WAY less paperjams, WAY less dust and air pollution in my workplace -and the kicker is - the cost is IDENTICAL to the cheap crap paper i had to use before.
Always some guy behind a desk that has never been here - in the workplace - that makes the call on what to buy.
