A Word About Selecting Paper

With an ink jet printer, paper absorbency is an important component for good print quality. Paper which is either too absorbent or not absorbent enough will give you less than optimum print quality.

You can see in Figure 1-16 what happens when paper is used which soaks up too much ink. The ink tends to bleed, causing blurred or smeared characters.

Figure 1-17 shows what can happen when paper is not absorbent enough. The characters take too long to dry and are easily smeared.

Most dense-weave paper (of the quality used for business cor- respondence) can be used in the SQ-2000 without problems. However, it’s a good practice to test the paper in your printer before purchasing a large quantity. Of course, you should also test labels and preprinted forms.
