Xerox Nuvera Tips by stock type
Paper Guide 3-7
Label Stock
Description Sheets of gum-backed paper that are affixed to sheets of waxy-topped paper. The
top sheet is cut into various shapes and sizes that can be peeled off of the back sheet.
Printed labels are placed on objects (cartons, compact disks, videos etc.) to identify
and describe the contents.
Selection tips • For best results, select a label that was designed for laser compatibility.
• When printing on large sheets of crack-and-peel label stock, the direction of the
cracks impacts print quality. When the cracks run parallel to the short edge of
the sheet, print quality is not affected. When the cracks run parallel to the long
edge, mottling may appear around the cracks.
Storage tips Store label stock in sealed boxes before and following printing.
Usage tips • Load label stock in trays with the labels facing up.
• Only load 50 labels at a time.
• Run simplex mode only.
Lightweight Uncoated (56 to 84 gsm)
Description Any uncoated offset paper for use in printing that weighs 56 to 84 gsm.
Selection tips Select the stiffest stock available with good formation and high opacity.
For best results, select a paper that indicates laser compatibility.
Storage tips Protect from environmental extremes after imaging.
Usage tips • If possible, load lightweight papers with the grain parallel to the front and back
of the paper tray to increase stiffness.
• Due to high moisture content, offset papers are more likely than other papers to
curl and jam as they leave the fuser. Try using a heavier or stiffer offset paper if
excessive jamming occurs.
Middleweight Uncoated (91 to 105 gsm)
Description Any uncoated offset paper for use in printing that weighs 85 to 105 gsm. Text paper
is an example of an uncoated mainline paper.
Selection tips • For best results, select paper that was designed for laser compatibility.
• Select paper with a very smooth finish for the best image quality.
Storage tips Protect from environmental extremes after imaging.
