Choosing Paper and Other Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,

envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. See “Paper

Specifications” on page C.3. To get the best possible print

quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:
Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be

appropriate for the project.

paper adjusters of the paper tray.

) bond for the Tray1 or optional

Tray2

-16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m

) bond for the Multi-Purpose Tray

Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and

produce sharper, more vibrant images.

Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects

how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
