I think that's a common problem with 2-side coated papers.  I've had
several that coat the pickup rollers with white dust that has to be
cleaned off fairly frequently.

That's a great price on a paper like that.  I'll definitely try some
and dust off my roller cleaning stick.

Can you write on the back side with a regular ball point pen?  I often
use this type of paper for greeting cards and some coated stock won't
work.
