Debossing and embossing
Avoid debossing and embossing materials. Embossing leads to nesting and double sheet feeds, and the fusing process
significantly reduces the height of the raised image. Printing too close to embossments results in poor print quality and poor
fuse grade.
Metallics
We do not recommend using metallics in forms, whether in inks or other materials, due to their conductivity and their ability
to bleed charge. This can interfere with toner transfer and cause poor print quality.
Basic form design
When designing forms, include a non-print area of 8.38 mm (0.33 in.) at the top and bottom of the form and 6.35 mm (0.25
in.) on both sides of the form.
In general, portrait orientation is the preferred layout, especially if you are printing bar codes. If your forms require
landscape orientation, be aware that variations in paper path speed may produce spacing variations when printing bar
codes.
