Table of Contents Introduction . 1-2 The Stock Library and Media Compatibility Guide . 1-5 Paper properties that affect xerographic images . 1-7 Stock coating categories for Xerox Nuvera . [. . . ] · · For best results, select a label that was designed for laser compatibility. When printing on large sheets of crack-and-peel label stock, the 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. Selection tips Storage tips Usage tips Store label stock in sealed boxes before and following printing. · · · Load label stock in trays with the labels facing up. Run simplex mode only. Lightweight Uncoated (56 to 84 gsm) Description Selection tips Storage tips Usage tips Any uncoated offset paper for use in printing that weighs 56 to 84 gsm. Select the stiffest stock available with good formation and high opacity. For best results, select a paper that indicates laser compatibility. Protect from environmental extremes after imaging. · · 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. Design the preprinted image so that no ink, varnish, or aqueous coating is placed in the area to be printed on by a Xerox Nuvera. Toner adhesion can not be assured when printing over inks or varnish. If the Xerox Nuvera image must be printed over pre-printed ink, results are more likely to be acceptable if the color is screened back to less than 30% or the base stock is uncoated paper. Select preprinted sheets that are free of excessive curl. Select uncoated and coated papers that are laser compatible or that appear in the Media Compatibility Guide. Select preprinted materials that are able to withstand: ­ Fuser temperatures of up to 437F (225 C) at 100 pounds per square inch for 29 milliseconds. ­ · · Exposure to fuser fluid. · Selection tips · · · · · Avoid cold set inks to prevent excessive offsetting. Avoid conductive inks containing carbon blacks or metal powders. ­ Sheets will not hold sufficient electrical charge for proper dry ink transfer. ­ Paper handling problems may occur with conductive inks. · Test a small quantity of a preprinted paper before ordering a large quantity. However, if the guidelines provided here are not followed, results may be inconsistent. Storage tips Usage tips Protect preprinted sheets from moisture to prevent image quality defects and feeding problems. [. . . ] White paper can have a slight blue, yellow, or pink shade. The human eye interprets a white sheet with a slight blue shade as being truly "white. " The physical features of the surface of a sheet of paper. The treatment of paper (internal or surface) with materials that alter fibers to change paper properties such as resistance to liquids, smoothness, stiffness, and surface strength. To shift out of square alignment with the paper path or the resulting tilt of images with respect to the sheet edges. [. . . ]
