harden satisfactorily, laser inks usually cure within 24 hours, and UV inks change immediately from
liquid to solid upon exposure to an ultraviolet light source. Special care must be taken to ensure that
pre-printed materials, for use in laser printers, use inks that do not offset. It is recommended that you
work closely with suppliers to verify that requirements are understood and met.
Drying agents are sometimes sprayed on printed sheets as they exit the printing press in an effort to
reduce the possibility of offsetting onto one another. These materials (typically powders) can become
contaminants when carried through Xerox printers. You should avoid using forms that have been
sprayed with these materials.
Always test the application before running production as liability ultimately lies in the hands of the
customer.
GBC and VeloBind Papers
GBC paper is a 19-hole drilled paper ready for binding using the spiral wound GBC binding system.
VeloBind paper is an 11-hole drilled paper used for comb binding.
The guidelines for loading and running jobs using GBC or VeloBind papers are the same as those for
other drilled papers. Misfeeds may occur more often with GBC and VeloBind papers than with
recommended drilled papers due to interlocking of the sheets caused by dull punches. Paper jams
caused by plugs (the pieces cut out of the paper to create the holes) may be more frequent. Stacking
of GBC and VeloBind papers in the paper tray will not be as good as when using plain paper
because of possible interference of the punched holes in adjacent sheets. It is also important to note
that image quality will be highly dependent upon paper stock quality.
Papers with a Textured Finish
Papers with a textured finish have a surface contour, gloss, and appearance that affects toner
placement and image quality. One common example is paper with a linen finish. The smoothness or
roughness of the paper surface will significantly affect the results of the printed output.
Papers with a textured finish can be run on the DocuColor 2045 / 2060 / 5252 with reasonable print
quality but will show the linen pattern. The peaks and valleys created by the textured finish may
create areas where toner cannot reach.
When using papers with a textured finish, run a smaller sample job before running long jobs to verify
whether or not the image quality meets your requirements. For best results, use low toner coverage
and avoid the use of photographs if fine detail is needed.
Latex-Saturated and Clean Room Papers
Clean room and latex-saturated papers refer to paper stocks that are saturated with latex and cut
under clean room (dust free) conditions. These types of papers are used frequently in the computer
chip industry and other industries where paper dust is unacceptable. Many people also like the feel of
these papers and their resistance to handling makes them an ideal candidate for paperback book
covers and other applications where surface strength is important.
