MF634CDW Decal Paper Jams

zstringer — Mon, 18 May 2020 17:43:07 GMT

Hello all,

I have a Canon MF634CDW color laser and I'm trying to print on heavy stock decal paper. The paper is "Blinggasm Waterslide Decal Paper" and it's the right flavor for laser printers. I'm printing using the manual feed tray. I tried setting it to Heavy and Coated paper and it still jams.

Has anyone had luck printing on decal paper like this? If so what brand/weight was it?

Thanks,

Zstringer

Got it to work but it took a little finagling:

Set the output to the multipurpose tray (upper manual feed one)
Set the paper weight to "Heavy 2 (33 lb Bond-60 lb Cover)".
The decal paper has a natural curve away from the decal side. Curl it the other way by rolling it into a circle 2" diameter
Place paper shiny side up into the multipurpose tray

Decals are very fragile after being placed in water - if they slide off of the paper before you're ready it will curl onto itself and you'll have to print a new one.
