Selecting Preprinted Media and Letterhead

When selecting preprinted media and letterhead paper for the printer:
Use grain long paper for best results.
Use only media and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Select paper that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use paper 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.
