Appendix B: Paper specifications and

recommendations

GCC Technologies recommends the following materials for use with your printer. GCC

does not assume liability for materials used with the printer that are not listed below.

Printing on standard papers

Your GCC printer prints on most kinds of paper stock, including most color stocks and

letterhead. The printer produces best results on standard 20-pound (75 g/m

) copier-type

paper; however, paper weights from 16-lb. to 28-lb. (60 g/m

to 105 g/m

) should also

provide good results.

To produce even clearer, sharper images, use paper with a surface that is smoother, but not

shinier, than photocopy paper. Some companies offer paper specifically designed for laser

printers.

Printing on letterhead

Letterhead should conform to the weight and surface characteristics specified in the previ-

ous section. Also, keep the following points in mind when printing on letterhead:

• Temperature: Some letterheads use low-temperature dyes that vaporize and smear at

high temperatures. Many letterheads that have a slick texture use a heat bonding

process called thermography that bonds the print to the paper. Letterheads produced

with this technique may “unbond” in the printer, causing damage.

• Paper Texture: Highly textured paper may not print evenly.

• Paper Finish: Paper that is extremely shiny does not work well.

Printing on envelopes

Use envelopes that are smooth (but not slick) and have rectangular or square flaps (rather

than a triangular flap).

Envelopes should be fed from the multipurpose feeder. There is also an envelope tray

available as an option. For more information, see “Optional accessories.”

WARNING: The printer uses heat in the printing process. Do not use material that may

melt inside the printer, such as Tyvek

envelopes. Serious damage to the printer may result.

Printing on overhead transparency film

Use transparencies recommended for dry toner machines. Other transparencies may cause

damage to the printer.
