I'm afraid I have just hit one - after several months of research, including time dedicated to educating my co-workers on the benefits of switching from 24 lb. chlorine bleached, virgin paper to 100% recycled, 20 lb. non-bleached, my company agreed to move forward with the greener of the two. After only one week however, our Canon Color Imagerunner C3200 copier stopped working and required the services of a technician to get things back up and running. To my dismay, he informed me that this copier (and in fact all copiers) are not designed to handle recycled papers due to the fact that these papers typically have more loose fibers that settle on the copier's rollers, creating a build up that will stop the machine cold in short order. Has anyone else experienced just such a problem or perhaps know of a recycle paper with less fibers?

Thank you!
