Moisture content
Too much moisture in paper causes excessive curl, jams,
degraded image permanence, and print quality problems. Too
little moisture causes static problems, which can lead to jams,
misfeeds, and difficulties in post-processing paper handling.
Papers with a nominal moisture content of 4.7 per cent perform
best in Xerox MICR laser printers. Offset and bond papers may
have a higher moisture content than xerographic papers.
Xerox brand papers have a maximum moisture content of 5.3
percent, with an average of 4.7 per cent. Several other MICR
bond papers have moisture content of less than 5.3 percent.
Preprinted papers must have a moisture content within these
limits after preprinting.
Reflectance
All MICR materials must meet a background reflectance
standard of 60 per cent minimum, as measured by equipment
having a CIE Photopic Spectral Response. Backgrounds
containing patterns, designs, logos, or scenes must meet
additional limits on the contrast of the preprinted areas. These
background reflectance standards were developed to permit
machines to read information on the check, such as the
convenience amount field.
