Preserving your color output

Color output, like black and white output, should
be handled and stored carefully to preserve its
appearance and usability. Your color output, which
is made from color dry inks (toners), requires a
little special attention. To help preserve the fidelity
of your color output, Xerox recommends that you
consider the following:

Adhesive tapes and adhesives

Some adhesive tapes and adhesives (glues)
contain solvents that may soften or dissolve the
color dry inks. Adhesive tapes and adhesives
should be tested on sample output before being
applied to your valuable copies or prints. Adhesive
tape may also pull off the dry inks when the tape is
removed.

PVC and color output

If your output comes in contact with PVC and
PVC-type (vinyl) plastics, the dry inks may soften
and transfer to the plastic. Use polypropylene and
polyethylene plastics for any covers or binders
that come in contact with the color output.
