Feeding Paper

This is one of those topics that is simple at first but actually has a huge amount of depth. Feeding paper can be easy or difficult depending on the conditions of the paper and the quality of the feeding system. Manufacturers use different styles of paper feeders for different cost criteria and specification ranges. Air feeders are best for coated stocks but air pumps raise the cost of a machine considerably. Friction feeders cost much less but can take more adjustment to get working reliably.
