Where does the perception that recycled content copier paper jam more come from?
A copier can jam for any number of reasons, such as: a bad batch of paper (this happens to non-recycled content paper as well); poor maintenance of copier machine, improper storage of paper (allowing moisture to affect sheets); improper handling of paper (not fanning paper out, not loading paper according to grain, not allowing paper to warm up (or cool down) to match the temperature of the copier room), etc. It has been historically proven that dust in a copier room can contribute significantly to paper jams and problems. If the regularly scheduled maintenance is not done, and if the paper is mistreated in storage or loading, machines will break down and paper jams will increase.
