Coated stock and large white text on heavy background

When printing white text on a heavy background on gloss or coated stock, faint ghosting may occur. What causes this is the BeltNip fuser maintaining an oil coating when white non image areas are put through the fuser. On second side printing, this non image area can be coated with extra oil causing a ghost image to become evident. To avoid this, care should be taken when designing solid colour or black areas not to use reversed (white) text. By putting in a coloured text, even of a light shade, can help the fuser avoid the ghost image occurring.

Avoid large text on dark background. Instead, lightly tint or colour the text.
