PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of
paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section
provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use
each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard weight
20 – 24 lb (75 – 90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and
laser printers. Suitable types are:
>
Ajro Wiggins Colour Solutions 90 g/m²
>
Colour Copy von Mondi
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not
recommended.
Pre-printed stationery
can be used, but the ink must not offset
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing
process.
Glossy paper
must
be of the type designed for use in
electrophotographic
printers and must not melt, change in quality, or warp during the
printer’s thermal fusing process. A suitable type is Excellent Gloss (A4,
A3, and A3 outsize) for Oki colour printers.
NOTE
Always print a sample to check the output results are satisfactory.
Printing on glossy paper may have unexpected results:
>
Compared with plain paper, glossy paper may often be printed
with a thin toner film over it, or the images may be printed
lighter.
>
In a high temperature and high humidity environment, a thin
toner film is likely to occur. Glossy paper is best used in an
environment below 25°C temperature and 60% humidity.
>
Image offsetting may occur particularly if you are printing high
density images or printing several copies.
>
Due to its coating, glossy paper may “slip” when being fed into
the printer.
