paper - inkjet laser copier

[Mark Bbb]

I learned 30 years ago that only 'copier paper' is suitable for a copier.
Laser would be for printers and inkjet for inkjet.
If inkjet paper would be used in a copier, that would melt in the fusing unit because of the coating on that paper.
In that time some customers bought laser quality for use in copier and told me that won't be a problem...
So, I investigate and find out that the fusing unit would last longer with 'copier' or 'copy' on the cover.
Today I looked quick on the internet and can't find a site that says to use 'copy' on a MFP.
They all say to use the 'laser' quality.
But still most papercovers here make a difference between 'laser' and 'copy'
What do you know about this?

Do you know the 'beyond burger'? It's vegetarian and tastes better than the 'meat thing'....

Inkjet paper won't melt.
Inkjet is more porous so the ink bleeds into it.
The reason they say not to use in laser copiers is it sucks up the oil in the fuser therefore drying it out then it could wrap n jam.

That depends on the type of inkjet paper. The coating on some high gloss inkjet paper will. I had a high school find that out the hard way.

The ones sold by Burger King here in California taste more like saw dust.

I have NEVER had inkjet paper 'melt' in the fuser unit... transparencies yes.

it seems to me if the paper was coated in 'plastic' the ink wouldn't absorb into thus smearing the ink.

At the high school it didn't melt. It had portions peal off and stick to the fusing roller. Since the glossy paper was only a cover sheet, it was then offset onto subsequent pages.

ahh ok thanks for clearing that up.. yes it gets jammed ...peals off due to lack of oil on the fuser rollers.

I had a middle school that was going through fusers left and right. the copy room was stocked with laser grade Hammermill 90 bright. So it was stumping me until I was there replacing something like the 4th or 5th fuser when In walks a new teacher carrying her OWN paper .. guess what it was INKJET paper. She demanded to know when I would be finished .. I said about an hour.. she went to another copier ..about 10 mins later after running 200 copies she screamed and cussed at the machine.
The principle and I came running ... the paper was wrapped around the hot roller ... " Why does this always happen to me" I pointed out it's the inkjet paper you are using .. "That's stupid PAPER IS PAPER"
I pointed out the sticker on the ream showing her the INKJET statement and told the principle that inkjet paper dries the oil out of the fuser quickly.
He told the teacher to use the supplied paper and to take hers back home.
From then on the fusers went life and sometimes beyond

I think the media, the thicker it is, the more it tends to ruin the rollers / sleeves at the edge, due to the detachment / cut ... but this is my thought, I have not done any tests

the 'teacher' example I gave was 32# yellow paper. don't know if the color made a damn, but it sure tore fusers up.

Not meaning to repeat myself, but bacon will make death taste good AND mute the tortured cries of the innocent victims. Bacon washes away all sins.

Only faith in Jesus Christ and giving your soul to God can abolish sin.
Yeah bacon is good but cannot wash your sins away.
