Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead
When selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
l Use grain long papers for best results.
l Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
l Select papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
l Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
l Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225°C (437°F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
l Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements;
latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
