surface.
Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
Use the following guidelines 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.
• 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 170°C (338°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use
inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. 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.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 170°C (338°F)
without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
