lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white paper.  The 

pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 392

moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) 
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your 
paper.
