Selecting the Right Paper
5-3
5.2 Selecting the Right Paper
Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge,
toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it
undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high-
quality printing paper matching the printer’s requirements withstands all
these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies
consistently.
Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors to consider
when selecting paper for the printer are as follows:
Condition of the Paper
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or
contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding,
and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the printer. In particular, avoid
using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper
should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Composition
Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains
plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off
harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the
total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.
