14.5 Selecting the Correct Media and Pre-Printed Media

A media guide and an approved medial list are available that provide detailed
information on the recommended media, such as acceptable paper, paper
specifications, and acceptable storage and print conditions. For more information,
contact your servicing dealer.
Pre-printed media can also be used successfully, as long as the inks comply with
the Pre-Printed Guidelines outlined in the Guidelines for Offset Pre-Printed Media
– Copy Press Technology document.
IMPORTANT
If non-recommended ink or drying powder, not suitable for digital printing, were
used to create the pre-printed media, damage to important parts of the printing
system may occur, or the digital printing performance can seriously deteriorate.
This can result in increased downtime and additional service costs. To ensure
optimal performance on pre-printed media, review the Guidelines for Offset
Pre-Printed Media – Copy Press Technology document.

14.6 Note for Customers Who Cut Their Own Paper

Customers who cut their own paper may experience:
• An increase of paper dust in the machine
• Paper jams due to paper dust getting into areas of the machine where it is not
meant to be
• Improper paper feeding
• Paper registration inaccuracies
Follow the precautions below to minimize the above issues:
• Use a rotary blade.
• Have a process in place to regularly make sure that the cutting blades are
sharpened, and that cuts are made as clean as possible.
• Place the paper with the factory mill cut sides facing to the right (leading edge),
and to the front of the machine when feeding paper. The best results for
consistency and front-to-back registration are obtained by using factory mill cut,
digital compatible paper.
