Appendix A : Selecting Print Media

Selecting Paper and Media

Your SuperScript 1260 printer supports a wide
variety of print media.
Choosing quality paper is your best bet for
avoiding many of the output problems common
to heat-intensive printing. It is the most effective
measure you can take to achieve consistently
good results from your printer.
Although we do not endorse particular manufac-
turers, this chapter mentions products that have
consistently demonstrated high quality. This
chapter shows you how to recognize quality
media products and gives detailed specifications
for print materials. Recommended handling and
storage guidelines are also given.
Note: Because we cannot control the
quality or manufacturing of your selected
media, we cannot warrant the use or
results of any specific media with the
SuperScript 1260 printer.
You must judge the quality and performance of
any paper. We strongly recommend that you test
any paper for compatibility with your SuperScript
1260 printer before you make a large purchase.
A-2 NEC SuperScript 1260 User's Guide
Note the following media guidelines.
• Check that the media meets all specifications
noted in this chapter.
• Order a small quantity to test with your
printer and your work environment. Some
paper vendors offer print quality guarantees
to ensure that the output meets a predeter-
mined standard when used with laser
printers. If you don't like the paper, you may
be able to return it for another type — but test
that one, too.
• Tell both the supplies buyer and the prospec-
tive seller that you are using this media in a
laser printer.
