Materials
Using Your Printer
•
Use only forms and letterhead 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 designed for
use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand
temperatures of 212
o
C (414
o
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 meet these requirements. If you are in
doubt, contact your paper supplier.
