36 COLOR MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Coated Papers
Contact your Xerox representative or visit the Xerox website for the
current list of recommended materials for your copier/printer.
Description and expectations
Coated papers have binders, adhesives, and pigments applied to
their surfaces on one or both sides. As compared to the benchmark
Color Xpressions 24 lb (90 g/m
2
) paper, coated papers provide
improved image gloss but will generally cause an increase in jams.
Two-sided copying or printing of coated papers may not be
recommended for your copier/printer because of more frequent jams
and likely image quality/offsetting problems. Contact your Xerox
representative for the current list of recommended materials for your
copier/printer.
Coated papers must be run with the curl side of the paper up and
the grain direction perpendicular to the lead edge.
CAUTION: Running coated papers with the grain direction parallel
to the lead edge, or with the curl side down can cause pressure roll
wrap jams requiring a service call.
CAUTION: Refer to the user guide for your copier/printer for the
maximum coated paper weight that can be run. Failure to adhere to
recommended weights may result in damage to the machine that
will require a service call.
