Hints, Tips and Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
Some inks from preprinted materials may cause deletions, offsetting
or contamination. Select a surface-drying, laser-compatible ink
designed for reproduction on color copier/printers. An offset printer
representative may be able to specify an ink with similar
characteristics.
Two-sided copying/printing onto preprinted materials is not
recommended. In many cases, deletions will occur if you attempt to
copy an image onto an area on side two that is directly opposite a
preprinted area on side one. The preprinted area can disrupt the
transfer of toner onto side two, causing a deleted area. This can be
due to the conductivity of the ink itself or because the ink on side
one caused a slight ripple in the paper.
Imaging onto preprinted areas of a preprinted form will cause poor
fusing or toner flake off.
Always pretest a small amount of material to determine image
quality and feeding performance before purchasing a large quantity.
