recognize the custom size. This size must match the size selected in the application used on your client desktop.
Two-sided printing is not recommended, however, it is possible to print two-sided tabbed inserts. To do this, load tabbed stock into the trays such that the short edge is fed first (SEF), and reverse the ªxº and ªyº dimensions as directed above.
When designing a typical 5-bank tab job, page setup size must be set to 11º x 9º Tab positions should be centered at 11/2º, 31/2º, 51/2º, 71/2º, and 91/2º respectively. It is also recommended that you maintain a distance of 1/4" from the top of the landscape edge and the text space per tab should be limited to 11/2º.
Sc o r e d M a t e r i a l s
Scoring creates a crease in a sheet of paper, usually heavyweight, for applications such as greeting cards and trifold brochures. These types of materials can be run from any tray in either LEF or SEF orientations, however, feeding performance will be optimized with score lines running parallel to the tray feed direction.
Please be aware that the xerographic process has limitations when transferring toner onto a sheet of paper close to any scores because of a depression or bump on the paper as a result of the scoring process. The printed output will exhibit a deletion near the score if printed areas are too close. To avoid this deletion of image or text, jobs should be designed with printed areas at least ¼ inch (6.4 mm) away from the score.
Co a t e d On e -s i d e d Pa p e r s (C1 S)
Coated one-sided papers (C1S) can be run from all trays. Most C1S papers are sold using points of thickness rather than weight. Refer to the Recommended Materials List for the appropriate weight settings to use for Xerox Digital Color Supreme Gloss C1S papers. As a general rule, 8 pt. C1S grades should be run in the 136 – 186 gsm setting, 10 pt. should be run in the 187 – 300 gsm setting, and 12 pt. and 14 pt. papers should be run in the 187 – 300 gsm range. Since many materials over 14 pts. of thickness will exceed the image transfer and feeding / transport capabilities of the DocuColor 5000AP print engine, it is recommended to purchase small quantities to ensure your expectations are met, prior to committing to large runs.
C1S papers are commonly used in high-quality applications with high toner coverage on the coated side. Image quality on the coated side will be very good; however, due to the inherent properties of the paper, the second side will exhibit very different print quality. If superior image quality is required for both sides, Xerox Digital Color Elite / Select Gloss and Silk (C2S) products are recommended.
DuraPaper (Teslin®-lik e Mat erials)
DuraPaper and other Teslin-like materials are synthetic single layer sheets that print and feel like paper yet are durable and waterproof like plastic. They usually have some tear and abrasion resistance, making them an ideal printing choice for demanding uses such as tags, menus, labels
