    SFI papers (sustainable forestry initiative) not good on color machines.

    sfi.jpgOne example, Mills Basics bottom end, 51018. Tends to leave toner residue to the point the paper sticks to the fuser belt and jams. It makes a mess on the belt and possible the induction heater if you have them on the highspeed machines. It could mislead you to think the parts are defective, but it aint.

    Its not as bad as wheat paper but keep an eye on who use those for your color machines. If you do a color test side by side with colorlok paper, you'll notice the difference on fusing quality. It doesnt fuse completely. Clients can attest they have been using the paper brand for many years, but the Fibre sourcing guideline changes every few years. The formulation does change. FYI

    In short, the "greener" the paper, the more troublesome its likely to be.
