USAGE GUIDELINES FOR XEROX COLOR COPIERS AND PRINTERS

Transparencies

Contact your Xerox representative or visit the Xerox website for the current list of recommended materials for your copier/printer.

Description and expectations

Transparency stock is used primarily to create images that can be projected onto a wall or screen. Transparencies are made of polyester film that is specially coated to make dry ink readily adhere to it. The base material and coating type are both very important in the final quality of the projected image.

The recommended Xerox transparencies meet the critical parameters for friction, clarity and dry ink adhesion required for optimum feeding and color image quality. When run as recommended, feeding performance will be good, but will not equal

the reliability of Xerox 24 lb (90 g/m2) Color Xpressions paper.

Hints, tips and testing results

Xerox testing has shown the following:

The Xerox Premium Transparencies, USA/Canada 3R5765, provide brighter, cleaner colors than other standard transparencies.

Some Xerox copier/printers can run paper-backed transparencies. Refer to the Recommended Materials list for your copier/printer to determine if they are recommended or not.

Be careful when handling transparencies. Dry ink cannot penetrate into the surface of the transparency. Therefore, any damage to the surface of the transparency will affect the quality of the image.
