The static's coming from the materials. I want to say it's from the paper or the combination of the screen rubbing against the paper. There's a lot of static cling on the back of the screen. If I put my arm a couple of inches from the screen, I can feel it.

Also, I'm noticing if I have excess ink on the back of the screen I wipe it off with paper towels and I think that might contribute.
