Appendix B: Paper specifications and
recommendations
GCC Technologies recommends the following materials for use with your printer.
GCC does not assume liability for materials used with the printer that are not listed
below.
Printing on standard papers
Your GCC printer prints on most kinds of paper stock, including letterhead. The
printer produces best results on standard 20-pound (75 g/m
2
) copier-type paper;
however, paper weights from 16-lb. to 28-lb. (60 g/m 2 to 105 g/m 2 ) should also
provide good results.
To produce even clearer, sharper images, use paper with a surface that is smoother,
but not shinier, than photocopy paper. Some companies offer paper specifically
designed for laser printers.
Printing on letterhead
Letterhead should conform to the weight and surface characteristics specified in the
previous section. Also, keep the following points in mind when printing on letter-
head:
• Temperature: Some letterheads use low-temperature dyes that vaporize and
smear at high temperatures. Many letterheads that have a slick texture use a
heat bonding process called thermography that bonds the print to the paper.
Letterheads produced with this technique may “unbond” in the printer, causing
damage.
• Paper Texture: Highly textured paper may not print evenly.
• Paper Finish: Paper that is extremely shiny does not work well.
Printing on envelopes
Use envelopes that are smooth (but not slick) and have rectangular or square flaps
(rather than a triangular flap).
Envelopes should be fed from the multipurpose feeder. There is also an envelope tray
available as an option. For more information, see “Optional accessories.”
WARNING:
The printer uses heat in the printing process. Do not use material that
may melt inside the printer, such as Tyvek
®
envelopes. Serious damage to the printer
may result.
