It's not something that you'll see dusting off of the paper, it's more
of a 'residue' that the inkjet paper leaves on the drum. Eventually it
will cause streaks and dead spots on the page. Some inkjet papers have
no heat resistance and will simply melt the first time through (this
is more likely with transparencies and clear labels).
