Choosing Paper
The EPI-4000
is
a plain paper printer designed to print on most
commonly available types of single-sheet paper and envelopes. The
type of paper you use, however, directly affects the quality of the
printing. For best printing results, use high-quality, 17 to 24 lb.
cotton bond or sulfite paper. Paper made for plain-paper copiers is
also a good choice. The EPI-4000 can also print on other types of
standard office paper, including memo sheets, letterhead, and paper
for non-impact printers. Most correspondence quality paper works
well in the EPI-4000. For best printing results on envelopes, use 12 to
24 lb. plain, bond, or air mail envelopes.
With ink jet printers such as the EPI-4000, you need to select paper
of the proper absorbency. On paper that is too absorbent, the ink
may bleed slightly and produce blurred characters. On paper that is
not absorbent enough, the ink may take too long to dry and smear
easily.
The finish and thickness of the paper is also important. Do not use
paper that has either a raw, rough finish or a slick, coated finish.
Also avoid paper that is too thick or too thin. Use smooth paper for
best results.
The printing quality may be affected by which side of the paper you
print on. On most paper one side of the paper produces better
printing results than the other.
Before you buy paper in large quantities, it is best to test a few
sheets in the printer. Also test any envelopes you plan to use with
the EPI-4000.
Note:
The printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because
different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses.
