[Classclimate-users] Paper requirements

[Bennett, Ann]

Hm. Posted yesterday, but I have partial update.

24 lb printed fine
80 lb did not print - paper jam out of the tray

I spoke with Kim McClain this morning. She said that as long as the paper is not bright white, brightness should not be a problem (92 brightness was the answer I had received from someone on the listserv a couple of weeks ago).  She said the paper they tested was 70# that they got from Printing Services, but seemed to think anything heavier than regular copy paper should work. I spoke with Printing Services this morning to request 5 pieces of every weight of paper they have over 24#  up to 70#. I am hoping to get these today and print what I can on my printer and take everything that prints (incl. the 24#) to Test Scores to see what works on the Scantron. I do not know if I will have a report on this today... it may not be until Monday.

On a separate issue, I am not sure if the same code printing on the 5 course evaluations for my test class are the result of not having actual 'students' in the class - just a number. I will try testing a small class and see if the code is varied.

Thank you,
Ann

Hi Ann,

Would you be able to let me know once you have completed the test?

Thanks.

I'll be the guinea pig. Already have the 24# 92 bright on order. P1SP9224. I'll check out P1BPC-1180, too.
Thanks,

The manual only states:
The quality of the paper and the print image is critical for the scanning and processing
stages.  We discourage the use of gray recycled paper due to the gray shadows which can
appear.

During training, I was told to get 70# white paper.  We got the paper from printing resources and it worked fine.  I realize as of Jan 1, 2013 the university needs to order paper from OfficeMax.  As long as the paper is "white" and not a grey tone and a heavier weight than normal copy paper, it should be fine.  Look in OfficeMax for:
P1ACC-8011 $16.69 ea
P1BCC-8011 $14.04 ea
P1BPC-1180-$9.58 ea
It would be my recommendation for one department to purchase a ream of paper and generate 4-5 paper surveys and bring to TestScore, CSC 117 for "test run" before each department purchases their paper.  We have only scanned paper surveys during the training held several months ago, we have not scanned actual paper surveys.  We want to make sure it works before departments 'go-live' with paper surveys.
Let me know who would like to be the guinea pig for this test?

Ann,

I did some online research, found that "92 is the new 85 bright".

OfficeMax is having difficulty finding 24 lb paper with 85 bright.
Any suggestions on brand or vendor?
Thank you,

I see that we need to use 24# bond paper.
Is there a brightness requirement ... or any other requirement?
Thank you,
Ann
