Subject:Re[2]: laser vs inkjet printers (HP4P paper-curling) From:"Arlen P. Walker" <Arlen -dot- P -dot- Walker -at- JCI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 21 Mar 1995 08:11:00 -0600
I also switched from the HP Deskjet 500 to the HP LaserJet 4P and
encountered the paper curling-problem. To solve the problem, I store my
paper in a TupperWare container with a few of those little moisture
absobing packets that accompany electronic devices. When I need uncurled
printouts, I quickly load the dry paper in the printer and print. After 5
or 10 minutes, the dry paper will absorb moisture, but I can usually get
wrinkle-free copiesbefore this happens.
Just a thought (I can't check, because there are no 4P's around here). Is there
room in the 4P paper tray to tuck one or two of those little packets?
Have fun,
