Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
Use long grain papers for best results.
Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been 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 the 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 letterheads must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180° C (356° F) without
