Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it with the flap side up.
•
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
2
90 g/m
-
Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
-
Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or damaged.
-
Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
•
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
•
Do not use stamped envelopes.
•
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
•
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•
Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.
•
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine's
