Mick's paper has gotten a lot of great reviews for quite awhile now but one thing has puzzled me.
I ordered my first pack of it and before I could even break the seal, Mick said he was now recommending the application of post-it notes to the lead edge. The stickies strengthen the edge and it helps prevent the paper from wrapping around the fuser.
I've been told by his office this process is necessary for all OKI models.
In a nutshell, I'm not terribly comfortable with having to handle each piece and then putting it through the printer. It sounds tedious as well as risky to add it to every piece. Am I the only one that sees a hang-up here? Are all the current OKI users implementing the procedure?
I would love to only see Sawgrass in the rearview mirror, but I don't want to go on a path that doesn't feel right either. As a note on my background, I started running printing presses when I was 12 years old in our family business so maybe I'm just more sensitive. One of the cardinal rules of offset printing is to "keep your paws off the paper." The oils from your hands, as well as the introduction of humidity into the stack, could be the difference between an easy run and an all-night run.
I'm interested in other's experiences with this paper.
