Preprinted Forms And Letterhead - IBM Infoprint 1422 User Manual

Preprinted forms and letterhead

Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be
able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°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.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing
process.
• Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
• Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
