Pre-printed paper

Pre-printed paper is paper with white space 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 printer, and a document 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 shown in the illustrations below, and you can preprint only with colors whose reflectivity is under 60% (for instance black). Avoid punching holes in the restricted area shown below because punctures are also recognized as colors whose reflectivity is under 60%.

Before printing on pre-printed sheets, verify that the area your document will print on does not overlap the pre-printed area by printing separate sample sheets and comparing their printed areas.
