Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the
machine:
• Use grain long papers for best results.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved
printing process.
• Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
• Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink
must withstand temperatures of 225°C (437°F) without melting or releasing hazardous
emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser.
Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might
not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 225°C
(437°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
