Does 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper cause paper jams in printers?

As a supplier of 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper, I've encountered numerous inquiries from customers regarding the potential for paper jams when using our product. This concern is entirely valid, as paper jams can not only disrupt workflow but also cause damage to printers. In this blog post, I'll delve into the factors that may contribute to paper jams and explain why our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is designed to minimize such issues.

Understanding Paper Jams

Paper jams occur when paper becomes stuck in the printer, preventing it from feeding through properly. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including the paper's weight, size, texture, and moisture content, as well as the printer's settings and condition.

One of the primary concerns with using lighter-weight papers, such as our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper, is that they may be more prone to paper jams. However, this is not necessarily the case. While lighter papers may be more flexible and less rigid than heavier papers, modern printers are designed to handle a wide range of paper weights and sizes.

Factors Affecting Paper Jams

  • Paper Weight and Thickness: While lighter papers may be more flexible, they are not inherently more likely to cause paper jams. Our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is engineered to have consistent thickness and smoothness, which helps it feed through printers more easily.
  • Paper Texture: The texture of the paper can also affect its ability to feed through the printer. Rough or uneven textures can cause friction, leading to paper jams. Our sublimation paper has a smooth surface, which reduces friction and ensures smooth feeding.
  • Moisture Content: Paper that is too dry or too moist can cause paper jams. Dry paper may become brittle and prone to tearing, while moist paper may stick together or cause misfeeds. We ensure that our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is stored and packaged in a controlled environment to maintain optimal moisture levels.
  • Printer Settings: Incorrect printer settings, such as the paper type, size, and feed mode, can also contribute to paper jams. It's important to select the appropriate settings for our sublimation paper to ensure smooth feeding.
  • Printer Condition: A dirty or malfunctioning printer can also cause paper jams. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the printer rollers and checking for any mechanical issues, can help prevent paper jams.

Our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper

Our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is specifically designed to meet the needs of professional sublimation printers. It is made from high-quality materials and undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.

  • Consistent Quality: We use advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure that our sublimation paper has consistent thickness, smoothness, and color reproduction. This helps to minimize the risk of paper jams and ensures high-quality prints.
  • Smooth Surface: The smooth surface of our sublimation paper reduces friction and ensures smooth feeding through the printer. This helps to prevent paper jams and ensures that the prints are sharp and clear.
  • Optimal Moisture Content: We carefully control the moisture content of our sublimation paper to ensure that it is neither too dry nor too moist. This helps to prevent paper jams and ensures that the prints are vibrant and long-lasting.
  • Compatibility: Our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is compatible with a wide range of sublimation printers, including Epson, Sawgrass, and Roland. This makes it a versatile choice for professional sublimation printing.

Comparing with Other Papers

Some customers may be considering using heavier papers, such as 70gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper, to reduce the risk of paper jams. While heavier papers may be more rigid and less prone to bending, they may also be more expensive and may not be suitable for all applications.

Our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper offers a good balance between weight and performance. It is lightweight enough to be flexible and easy to handle, yet it is also strong enough to feed through the printer smoothly. In addition, our sublimation paper is more affordable than heavier papers, making it a cost-effective choice for professional sublimation printing.

Tips for Preventing Paper Jams

  • Use the Right Paper: Always use the recommended paper type and size for your printer. Our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is specifically designed for sublimation printing and is compatible with a wide range of printers.
  • Check the Printer Settings: Make sure that the printer settings, such as the paper type, size, and feed mode, are correct. This will help to ensure smooth feeding and prevent paper jams.
  • Keep the Printer Clean: Regularly clean the printer rollers and other components to remove any dust, debris, or paper particles. This will help to prevent paper jams and ensure optimal printer performance.
  • Store the Paper Properly: Store the paper in a cool, dry place to prevent it from absorbing moisture. This will help to prevent paper jams and ensure that the prints are vibrant and long-lasting.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is designed to minimize the risk of paper jams in printers. While paper jams can occur due to a variety of factors, our sublimation paper is engineered to have consistent quality, a smooth surface, and optimal moisture content, which helps it feed through printers more easily.
