Learn about the printer
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.
