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.
