Corner buckler. The metal tab at the corner of a paper tray that helps the printer separate one sheet of paper from the stack during the pick process.

Curl. Waviness or curvature at the edge of the material that is generally moisture related.

Cut sheet. Single piece (page) of paper or label stock.

Debossing. Process of pressing an image down into the surface of the label or card stock. See also Embossing.

Delamination. The peeling of labels off the backing during the printing process.

Die-cut.Labels: Cut of material (face stock) to form individual labels on sheet. Cuts do not penetrate

the liner. Card Stock: Cuts made with dies to create the shapes wanted in the stock. Cuts may or may not go completely through the stock. See also Ties.

Driver edge. For printers that use a fixed reference for feeding paper through the paper path (as opposed to printers that center paper in the path), the edge of the print material that is positioned next to the hardware reference and that is driven by the rollers in the printer. For most Lexmark printers, the driver edge is the left edge of a portrait page.

Embossing. Process of raising the surface of the base material by stamping an image or design with an embossing machine. The machine has a roll with a raised image on the surface. As the print material passes through the machine, the image is pressed into the material. See also Debossing.

Feed. How well the stock moves out of the paper tray and through the printer.

Fiber content. The material used to manufacture the paper. Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton have characteristics that can result in degraded paper feeding.

Fuse grade. Qualitative measurement of the adhesion of toner to the printed sheet.

Fusing. Printer process of melting toner and adhering it to the print material.

Glue contamination. See Adhesive contamination.

Grain. The orientation of the fibers in the print material. Grain short indicates the fibers run the width of the paper. Grain long indicates the fibers run the length of the paper.

Ink contamination. Transfer of ink from a form to the printer’s pick mechanism or fuser assembly, which can cause printer contamination.

Ironing. A mechanical process used during conversion to flatten stock.

Laser ink. Inks that can withstand fuser temperatures of 225°C (437°F) and pressures to 25 psi without contaminating the printer or releasing hazardous fumes.

Laser Printers specifications

Lexmark laser printers are renowned for their high-quality printing solutions tailored for both personal and business environments. They leverage robust laser printing technology, which utilizes a laser beam to produce sharp text and clear images on paper. This method is not only efficient but also exceptionally fast, making it ideal for high-volume print jobs.

One of the standout features of Lexmark laser printers is their exceptional print resolution. Many models offer print resolutions of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, allowing for sharp text and detailed graphics. This level of quality is particularly useful for businesses that require professional documents, presentations, and marketing materials. The clarity provided by Lexmark printers makes them suitable for various applications, from everyday office printing to specialized projects.

Lexmark also incorporates cutting-edge technology to enhance user experience and productivity. One such innovation is the Smart MFP (Multifunction Printer) technology, which combines printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities into one device. This all-in-one functionality reduces the need for multiple machines, saving both space and maintenance costs. Additionally, many Lexmark models come equipped with intuitive touch-screen interfaces that simplify navigation and operation.

Another key characteristic is Lexmark's commitment to sustainability. Many of their printers are designed with energy-saving features, such as Sleep Mode and automatic duplex printing, which reduces paper usage. Lexmark also participates in recycling programs for toner cartridges, supporting environmentally responsible practices.

Moreover, Lexmark laser printers are well-known for their reliability and durability. Built with high-quality components, these printers are engineered to handle demanding workloads, maintaining peak performance over time. Businesses can rely on Lexmark printers for consistent output, which ultimately boosts overall operational efficiency.

Connectivity is another important aspect of Lexmark laser printers. With options for USB, Ethernet, and wireless connectivity, users have the flexibility to print from various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. Furthermore, many models support mobile printing solutions, enabling users to print directly from their mobile devices via apps and services like Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print.

In summary, Lexmark laser printers are an excellent investment for those seeking high-quality, reliable printing solutions. With features like advanced print resolution, multifunction capabilities, sustainability initiatives, and robust connectivity options, Lexmark continues to be a leader in the laser printing industry, catering to diverse printing needs while maintaining efficiency and performance.
