Cut sheet paper labels
•
Generally, cut sheet paper labels work well with your printer.
•
Coating or sizing to make the paper liquid‑resistant decreases toner adhesion and increases the risk of toner
contaminating the fuser. At a minimum, paper labels should be equivalent in weight and rigidity to a 20‑lb
xerographic bond paper.
Dual web forms
•
Constructing dual web forms involves joining together rolls of two different materials (usually pressure‑sensitive
paper and bond paper) and then converting to a cut sheet product.
•
This construction requires a stripped edge matrix. The liner must be rigid enough to withstand the pick force of the
printer.
