Selecting Preprinted Forms And Letterhead; Printing On Letterhead - Dell 3110CN Owner's Manual

Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead

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