Re: [Digital BW] Re: EB6 paper recommendations - neutral

2010-03-20 by Michael King

Cheaper paper that is coated on just one side tends to curl towards the side
with the coating.
That's why more expensive papers are coated on both sides to reduce any
curling, even if the intent is just to print on one side. Mike
