Transfer of toner image (continued)

Because of the way that laser printing is accomplished, currently there is no way to entirely eliminate the possibility of toner transfer. However, using these techniques should yield more satisfactory results and will often reduce the problem to imperceptible levels.

Gray background on envelopes

Poor print quality is normally the result of using envelopes that are of the incorrect weight or finish. The paper used to construct the envelope might be embossed; or might be too heavy, too rough or too slick; or might be made in such a way that it is incompatible with the high temperatures encountered in toner fusing. The result is that the toner does not adhere well to the surface. Also, on heavier envelopes, a gray background might appear on the front (or print side) of the envelope. To reduce the gray background, the print density might need to be set to a darker setting.
