If you encounter a copy quality or print quality problem that is not listed here, or the recommended actions do not solve the problem, see "Image Quality Problems" in the HP CM8060/CM8050 MFPs with Edgeline Technology Quick Reference Guide. Issue Wrinkles in printed areas (cockle) Printing on 11" x 17" (and other large formats) is exceedingly slow Output is wet to the touch Printed page is excessively curled Recommended action Excessive cockle is caused by a bad combination of the image, paper and weather. • Excessively dry paper cockles more. Store paper at proper humidity (45%-55%). • Lighter weight papers cockle more than heavier weights. • Black ink cockles more than color ink. Consider changing the color of a graphic. To optimize print quality and avoid paper jams, your HP CM8060/CM8050 MFP will sometimes print very slowly on 11"x17" paper that is short grain and less than 120 g/m2 (32 lb bond). • Use only long grain 11"x17" paper. If you know that your paper is a long grain type, set the administrator option for "Grain Direction 11x17 and A3" to "Long-grain Paper." • If your paper is short grain but has a weight of at least 120 g/m2 (32 lb bond) you may set the administrator option for "Grain Direction 11"x17" and A3" to "Long-grain Paper." The combination of certain papers that don't dry quickly and poor weather conditions may result in longer drying times. • Change your paper to a recommended paper or set the paper type to "Cardstock." Excessive curl is caused by a bad combination of the image, paper and weather. • Excessively dry paper curls more. Store paper at proper humidity (45%-55%). • Black ink causes curl more than color ink. Consider changing the color of a graphic. • Many 100% recycled papers and lighter weight papers curl badly. Consider using a different paper. 8
