The Dynamic Duo

I’m sure I’m way slow to this realization, but the kind of paper you use in an inkjet printer really makes a difference. Not so much in quality of the print, but a whole lot when it comes to jams. We recently bought a new combination printer/scanner/copier dog-walker and I was extremely frustrated with how often it was jamming up. When we first got it no problem, but after printing about 100 pages it started to jam up more often that it printed a sheet correctly. I was pulling my hair out when it just came to me: “I’ve always used plain copy paper, why don’t I just try the ink jet paper and see if it makes a difference.” Oh glorious day has it made a difference! I haven’t had jam one since I started using the inkjet paper, and while it is pretty irritating that it doesn’t owrk with the (cheaper) copy paper, at least my printer is reliable again. I hope this helps keep someone else from tearing out the chunks of hair that I did.
