Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your machine. Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:

•Poor print quality

•Increased paper jams

•Premature wear on the machine.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

•Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.

•Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

•Weight: Your machine supports print media weights as follows:

-60 to 90 g/m2 bond for the tray 1 and optional tray 2

-60 to 163 g/m2 bond for the multi-purpose tray

-75 to 90 g/m2 for duplex printing

•Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Notes

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Muratec has no control.

•Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

Caution

Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Muratec's warranty and/or service agreements.
