Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead

When selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:

l
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
l
Select papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
l
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
l
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225°C (437°F) without
l
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.
