Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only
between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer.
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
•
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90g/m
2
(24lb) or
jamming may occur.
•
Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm (0.25in.)
curl, and should not contain air.
•
Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked or otherwise damaged.
•
Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine.
•
Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges
N
OTES
:
• Use only the manual feeder to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than
140 mm
(
5.5 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by
environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and
handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page A.9.
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope
rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the
seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
