Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
l
Use long grain papers for best results.
l
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
l
Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
l
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting
or releasing hazardous emissions. 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.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180° C (356°
F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
Printing on Letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the print media sources.
