Hi Dennis D,

Believe it or not but inkjet paper is actually sensitive to moisture and light. In fact the paper technically can go bad if you do not story it in its proper air tight container it is supposed to be in or it is left on the printer for too long. It is possible also that the conditions that the paper was in before you purchased the paper was different and therefore contributed to such changes in printing details.

Best,

I've never seen this happen. But if it were to happen, I would expect that I would notice it prior to making a print on it.

I've had problems with different boxes of Museo Silver Rag, but more related to feeding issues. I opened a new box and started getting head strikes near the corners - turned out the paper curled up towards the printing surface whereas the previous box had curled down. IT Supplies replaced the paper immediately and all was well.

I've had bad edge curl problems with the Harman glossy baryta, in two different sizes. I complained about it to no avail.

Edge curl is fairly common. When I encounter a head strike because of this, I just change the platen gap to a wider setting.
