Paper specifications and recommendations B-1

GCC Technologies recommends the following materials for use with the Elite

XL. GCC does not assume liability for materials used with the Elite XL

that are not listed below.

Printing on standard papers

The Elite XL prints on most kinds of paper stock, including most color stocks

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

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

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

previous 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. Letter

heads produced with this technique may “unbond” in the

Elite XL, causing damage to the printer.

• 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).
