My last post didn't come out as it should have, so I'm trying again to show (using standard text characters) how I determine which side bends more. Let's see if this one comes out....


      <--- long direction --->
    _____________________________________
   /                                    / 
  /                                    /   <-- the sheet
 /____________________________________/
                  |  }
                  | / <---- my hand
                  |/

One may support the paper by holding it at the edges w/one's fingers:

      <--- long direction --->
                        <-- hold at * w/fingertip
    __________________*___________________
   /                 /                   / 
  /                 /                   /   <-- the sheet
 /_________________/___________________/
                  *                  
                  | <-- hold at * w/fingertip 
                  |


I previewed this & it looked OK. We'll see how good the preview is once I actually submit this as a post.

If the print side is down, then the sheet will bend more. The difference between the bend may be small, but it is noticeable. 
 
I realize that, being coated 2 sides, it may be printable either side. Still, it does curl or bend more when one side is up.
