Paper Guide 3-7 Tips by stock type Xerox Nuvera Perforated Paper Description Paper that has been laser or mechanically cut or perforated with lines of small, regularly spaced holes or slits so a sheet can be easily separated into sections. Mechanical perforations (spiked wheel or die cut) create paper dust and chaff as well as a slight bulge below the perforations that prevent dry ink from adhering properly. Laser perforations do not create dust and chaff and do not deform the paper. · · · · Storage tips Usage tips Select laser perforations whenever possible. Choose perforated papers between 75 and 216 gsm. Perforations should be created so sheets will maintain as much stiffness as possible. Perforations should be strong enough to not tear during the printing process.

Where possible, load with the perforation parallel to the feed direction. 3-8 Paper Guide Xerox Nuvera Tips by stock type · CAUTION Never print on sheets that were printed with rubber-based inks or cured with a drying agent (starch, talc, or rosin powders).
