less paper can be placed in a tray, and paper that is heavier and more dense may cause paper jams or feed reliability problems in some printers. Check the supported paper weights table located in the printer documentation to verify that the paper basis weight being used is acceptable. Not all basis - Lexmark OptraImage 15m | Card Stock & Label Guide - Page 10
we recommend that curl not exceed 3 mm (0.125 in.). Lighter materials, such as paper labels and some integrated forms, are more likely to have printing problems if curl is present. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18-24°C (65-75°F) with relative humidity of 40-60 - Lexmark OptraImage 15m | Card Stock & Label Guide - Page 11
We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product.

For lighter card stocks, grain long is recommended to reduce potential curl problems. Curl may decrease the ability of the form to move reliably through the printer. Most printers feed paper short edge first. If your printer supports larger paper sizes, such as 11 x 17 in. or A3, it may - Lexmark OptraImage 15m | Card Stock & Label Guide - Page 17

Offset powders We do not recommend using offset powders or other foreign materials to speed drying. Offset powders are used by print shops to prevent printed pages from sticking together. Powder is usually sprayed on the printed page right before it reaches the stacker on the offset printing press. - Lexmark OptraImage 15m | Card Stock & Label Guide - Page 19

Other steps to ensure optimal printing include orienting the label in the tray so the label end is fed into the printer first, and using grain long paper.
