Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing.
•
Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different from the printer
•
environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
•
For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent.
•
Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative
humidity between 40 and 60 percent.
Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
•
Store individual packages on a flat surface.
•
Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
•
Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and
•
wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
Use grain long paper.
•
•
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
•
Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based generally meet
•
these requirements; latex inks might not.
Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large quantities. This
•
action determines whether the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead affects print quality.
•
When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
•
When printing on letterhead, load the paper in the proper orientation for your printer.
