Debossing and embossing
Avoid debossing and embossing materials. The use of these materials may lead to nesting and double
‑
sheet
feeds, and the fusing process significantly reduces the height of the raised image. Printing too close to
embossments results in poor print quality and poor fuse grade.
Metallics
We do not recommend using metallics in forms, whether in inks or other materials, due to their conductivity and
their ability to bleed charge. This property can interfere with toner transfer and cause poor print quality.
Basic form design
When designing forms, include a non
‑
print area of 8.38 mm (0.33 in.) at the top and bottom of the form and
6.35 mm (0.25 in.) on both sides of the form.
In general, portrait orientation is the preferred layout, especially if you are printing bar codes. Choosing
landscape orientation may cause the variations in paper path speed to produce spacing variations when printing
bar codes.
