Recycled Papers
Material Description & Expectations
Most recycled papers are made from a combination of new pulp,
waste from the paper-making process, and paper that has been
returned by consumers for recycling. Because the nature of paper
returned for recycling is unpredictable, recycled papers are less
uniform in content and quality than papers made from entirely new
fiber. The recommended Xerox recycled papers offer the best feed
performance and image quality available. The Xerox papers
undergo exclusive screening procedures to minimize the amount of
harmful inks and plastic particles in the final product. The
recommended recycled papers will run well in the 5790 but the
reduced smoothness, formation and brightness will result in
degraded image quality as compared to the primary 24 lb Image
Series LX paper.
Recommended Materials
Xerox 20 lb Recycled Business Paper
, 8.5 x 11” = 3R5130
Xerox 20 lb Recycled Business Paper
, 11 x 17” = 3R5133
Steps for Success
1 The recommended recycled papers should be run using the
same procedures as standard paper.
2 If running a recycled paper heavier than 28 lb bond (105 gsm)
use the instructions for Heavy-Weight Papers.
Hints, Tips & Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
•
Severe image quality problems are likely if non-recommended
recycled papers are run. If you plan to use a recycled paper
other than the Xerox brand, first try a small quantity to test its
performance, then consult your local Xerox representative for
agreement on its use.
•
The wide variation in recycled paper fibers increases the
tendency for these papers to curl, which may result in jams. If
an obvious curl is detected, load that paper in the bypass paper
tray with the curl down for best feeding performance.
•
Two-sided copying with recycled papers is not recommended.
The inherently poor image quality of recycled papers only
becomes worse when the second side is run.
•
To avoid making a marginal material worse, all recycled papers
should be stored in sealed packages when not in use. Image
quality on exposed papers will degrade even more as humidity
increases.
