Pre-printed Paper
Pre-printed paper is paper with w hi t e s p ace in the middle and ruled lines,
letters, or figures printed in the top and bottom margins. The margins are
printed the first time the paper is loaded in the print er, and a d o cument is
printed in the white space the second time the paper is loaded in the
printer. The margin areas are often used for letterheads, borders, and so
on. You can make your own pre-printed paper or you can purchase it.
You cannot preprint in the area with the diagonal shading in the
illustrations below, and can preprint only with colors wh os e ref lectivity is
under 60% (for instance black). Avoid punching holes in the re stricted
area below because punctures are also recognized as co lors whose
reflectivity is under 60%.
