Tips by stock type
Label stock
| Table |
|
|
Description | Sheets of |
| paper. The top sheet is cut into various shapes and sizes that can be |
| peeled off of the back sheet. Printed labels are placed on objects (cartons, |
| compact disks, videos etc.) to identify and describe the contents. |
|
|
Selection tips | • For best results, select a label that was designed for laser compatibility. |
| • When printing on large sheets of |
| direction of the cracks impacts print quality. When the cracks run |
| parallel to the short edge of the sheet, print quality is not affected. When |
| the cracks run parallel to the long edge, mottling may appear around the |
| cracks. |
|
|
Storage tips | Store label stock in sealed boxes before and following printing. |
|
|
Usage tips | • Load label stock in trays with the labels facing up. |
| • Only load 50 labels at a time. |

Description | Any uncoated offset paper for use in printing that weighs 56 to 84 gsm. |
|
|
Selection tips | Select the stiffest stock available with good formation and high opacity. |
| For best results, select a paper that indicates laser compatibility. |
|
|
Storage tips | Protect from environmental extremes after imaging. |
|
|
Usage tips | • If possible, load lightweight papers with the grain parallel to the front and |
| back of the paper tray to increase stiffness. |
| • Due to high moisture content, offset papers are more likely than other |
| papers to curl and jam as they leave the fuser. Try using a heavier or |
| stiffer offset paper if excessive jamming occurs. |
