Chapter 2 Paper Selection

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the
adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the
printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will
damage the printer.
Label paper must be manually fed.
Label paper has a structure comprised of three layers, as
shown in the figure below. The top sheet is printed on. The
adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The
carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds
the labels until use. Due to the complexity of its composition,
adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give
trouble in printing.
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top
sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels
with spaces in between are apt to peel off, causing serious
paper jam problems.
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of
top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet
from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.
The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label
paper.
Postcards
Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading
them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going
to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause
paper jams.
Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards
on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to
smooth them.
Envelopes
The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis
weight of 70 to 100 g/m
2
(19 to 27 lb/ream). Envelopes must
be manually fed.
An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of
paper. For this reason, it may not be possible to obtain
consistent print quality over the entire envelope surface.
Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See
Paper
Grain on page 2-3
). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle
and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing
envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the
envelope’s suitability.
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid
adhesive.
Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only.
Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer
wear.
To avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more
than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper
trays during multiple envelope printing.
