Recommended paper types
Observe the following guidelines when selecting plain paper for use with
the printer:
■ Many types of Bond, Text, and Book paper work well with the
printer. For Bond paper, use a basis weight of 75 - 90 g/m
2
(20 - 24
lb.); 75 g/m
2
(20 lb.) is best. For Book paper, 75 g/m
2
(50 lb.) is
best. In general, avoid paper with a high rag content.
■ In general, smoother papers work better. Avoid using “fuzzy”
papers with loose fibers. This type of paper does not produce the
best image quality and leaves more paper residue inside the
printer, requiring you to clean the printer more frequently.
■ Don't use watermarked paper. The watermark may show through
as dropout on the print.
■ You can recycle plain-paper prints with other mixed paper.
Tektronix offers a premium laser paper that gives excellent print quality for
plain-paper printing. Like Tektronix thermal-transfer paper, this premium
laser paper is larger than standard Letter or A4 size paper and perforated,
which allows you to print the largest possible image area (for details, see
“Margins and print area” on page 3-6). For information on ordering
Tektronix premium laser paper and other printer supplies, refer to the
supplies information sheet that is shipped with the printer.
