Choosing Paper Wisely

Print speed changes depending on the type of paper and the basis weight� You can improve productivity by choosing
a paper consciously to meet your needs� First of all, see the following table�
Relationship between Types of Paper and Print Speed
Basis Weight
52 g/m 2 to 220 g/m 2 (14 lb bond to 80 lb cover)
221 g/m 2 to 256 g/m 2 (82 lb cover to 140 lb index)
257 g/m to 300 g/m (140 lb index to 110 lb cover)
2 2
For example, if you use a paper type whose basis weight is 221 g/m
In this case, the print speed slows down to two thirds of the print speed of Heavy 4, whose basis weight is 220 g/m
In this way only 1 g/m 2
productivity by using a paper type whose basis weight is 220 g/m
NOTE
• Only thin, plain, and heavy papers are selected from the standard types of paper and listed in the table above�
• Print speed changes not just according to the basis weight, by the type of paper as well� For the relationship
between standard paper and print speed, see "Types of Paper You Can Use for Calibration" at the end of this
document� (If you use group A as the base, the print speeds of group B and group C are two thirds as fast and one
half as fast respectively�)
• The print speed may differ from those in the table depending on the amount of images and the room temperature�
