First of all, I am not a technician, but work in a healthcare print shop environment.
Our shop has 2 7105's as well as a C5180 color rig.
We do have service techs that seem to be thorough, but do not always have answers to questions that are less technical, such as recommended paper types.
We tend to run a lot of 60-90# card stock as well as at least 60k+ clicks on 2 and 3-part NCR each month.
The NCR tends to jam a little more than our standard 20# white, but it is within acceptable limits.
Is there a type of 2-part NCR (white/canary) that is historically reliable, and if so, what is it?
We ran Nekoosa 2-part for almost a year and it ran ok, but started having issues with the toner not properly fusing on the white sheet at the very same time on both machines.
We then switched to Appleton 2-part for the past 8 months, which feels a bit thicker and jams less, but recently, for a couple of weeks now, again on both machines, it tends to "curl" on the output tray, causing us major headaches and to have to babysit the machine on larger runs.
This is 1-sided 2-part NCR. We typically run from drawers 1 & 2, and paper deck if we have to order "straight" ncr.
What causes the curling? We had the fuser unit rebuilt on 1 of our 7105's to see if that would remedy jamming, but since then, it too has been curling the paper.
The weather has been fairly stable here, and we notice it when it's 65 F outside as well as when it's 15 F, as our techs tried to explain temperature as the issue.
Sorry if I'm unclear, just ask if you want to know more specifics.
