When using papers with a textured finish, run a smaller sample job before running long jobs to verify whether or not the image quality meets your requirements. For best results, use low toner coverage and avoid the use of photographs if fine detail is needed.

Clean room and latex-saturated papers refer to paper stocks that are saturated with latex and cut under clean room (dust free) conditions. These types of papers are used frequently in the computer chip industry and other industries where paper dust is unacceptable. Many people also like the feel of these papers and their resistance to handling makes them an ideal candidate for paperback book covers and other applications where surface strength is important.
Latex-saturated and clean room papers have not been optimized for color printing and do not have many of the characteristics required to deliver premium image quality. These materials can run in the DocuColor 5000AP, however, image quality will be degraded. These papers are rough on the surface and many actually have a finish (i.e., linen finish) that makes toner transfer difficult.
When using latex-saturated and clean room papers, only simplex printing is recommended. Duplexing may be accomplished manually but automatic duplexing is not recommended. It is also important to be aware that more service-related calls are likely due to possible contamination of the feeding and transport modules.

Even though some sizes are supported, it is not recommended to run envelopes through DocuColor 5000AP printers. Image quality is generally poor due to the quality of stocks used, and the number of folded or overlapped edges. There is also an extremely high risk of machine contamination due to the presence of the dry gum used for sealing. They cannot be run “closed” as this creates more overlaps and often they become sealed from the pressure/ heat utilized in the fusing process.
