I printed a ton of UGC covers for my collection. Unfortunately when I put the printed covers into the cases the backs of them curled quite noticeably. I printed them on standard bond type paper (20#). I haven't seen a UGC cased collection irl and am not sure if this is normal and I can't tell from the videos on youtube.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions? Is this just the way it is?

Thanks in advance!

Also, I tried searching this issue and couldn't find anything. But if my apologies if I just missed it.

Don't know what you mean by curling, but most likely poor quality paper.  Have you got a photo of them?

I just moved and left and won't have them for another week or two. So, currently I don't.

I guess this means its not normal?

Perhaps it is the paper quality. I read a lot of people not recommending card stock so I thought cheap printer paper would suffice.

By curling I mean that the paper is sort of wavey. But this is only the backs.

Once I have some I will post pics if someone doesn't chime based on experience.

It's paper quality.  Over saturation of ink on cheap paper.

There are plenty of threads with paper recommendations

Maybe printed wrong size?
For some reason I have noticed that the extra always tends to go to the back.
