HP LASERJET PRO MFP M28W

Thought my printer/ink problems were solved when i got this nice compact laser jet....however, every sheet printed comes out curled!  MORE THAN ANNOYING!!!  We exist on wood heat, and had the printer/paper upstairs and I’ve moved it downstairs to a place not handy just to keep the paper cooler, but its still coming out curled!  We are hours from town and I am sooo frustrated now!  I have lots of paper, and see no need to go buy MORE SPECIALIZED PAPER, like the HP guy recommended, but I don’t want curled paper either....i’m almost ready to go to another inkjet...as annoying as my old HP printer was, at least the paper never curled!!!!  I just wanted a reliable printer for our small business that could copy, print, scan and do it economically....went to Brother, but their wonderful machines were too big and heavy (not much space here), and this HP was the perfect size and a LASERJET!!  But the woohoo factor is gone w/the first printing.....curled paper???  *UGH*!! Please help if you can

Hi,

When you say there is not much space here, is the printer located in a well-ventilated area?

 

Laser printers are hotter than inkjets in the way a Laser printer works, a such will cause a such due to a closed and not ventilated area, due to a paper absorbed any extra moisture, hotness and moisture may cause a curled paper.

 

Please see below guidelines for a such:

i moved it downstairs where it is cooler, that helped some, but pages are still curled and not flat....have 2 more weeks to decide to keep it or go back to an inkjet....*UGH*

Have you tried opening a new package of papers from a sealed packaged? Papers are very sensitive to bad climate and the brand/quality can make a big difference
