Appendix > Paper

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper must conform to the specifications listed on page 11-14. The colored ink must be able to withstand the
heat of printing. It must be resistant to silicone oil as well. Do not use paper with a treated surface such as glossy paper
used for calendars.

Recycled Paper

Recycled paper must conform to the specifications listed on page 11-14; however, its whiteness may be considered
separately.
NOTE
Before purchasing recycled paper in volume, try testing a sample to ensure satisfactory print quality.

Coated Paper

Coated paper is created by treating the surface of the base paper with a coating that provides higher printing quality than
plain paper. Coated paper is used for particularly high quality printing.
The surface of high-quality or medium-quality paper is coated with special agents that improve ink adhesion by making
the paper surface smoother. These agents are used either to coat both sides of the paper or just one side. The coated
side appears slightly glossy.
IMPORTANT
When printing on coated paper in very humid environments, ensure that the paper is kept dry as moisture
may cause sheets to stick together when they are fed into the machine. If printing in very humid
environments, set coated paper for one sheet each.
