How Digital Printing Machine Uses Paper

For high-speed color copiers and black-and-white copiers, the surface-smoothed paper can have good toner adsorption and handling performance at high temperature and high speed. In general, the smoother the paper surface, the higher the image clarity. Typical paper Choices: 16 pounds to 60 pounds cover paper and 110 pounds index paper.

For dry powder digital presses like the Xeikon DCP/32D, Agfa Chromapress and IBM InfoColor 70, smooth, high brightness paper is best. Typical options: 24 pounds to 80 pounds Cover sheet - can be either paint or non-coating.

For the Indigo E-Print 1000+, the wet powder digital press requires a special coating to optimize toner adhesion. As long as users have this type of coating, many media can be printed on this device, so from 50 pounds of writing paper to 100 pounds of cover paper, to transparent bases, trademarks, film and even mouse pads can be printed.

With offset presses such as the Heidelberg GTO-DI and Quickmaster DI, any standard paper can work well on it.
