Printing
Materials
Uses 16- to 28-pound laser-quality bond (60 to 90 g/m

). Most textured
and colored stock is accepted but discouraged, as it will adversely
affect color print quality.
The paper used should not scorch, melt, transfer material, or release
hazardous emissions when heated to 200
° C (392 ° F) for 0.1 seconds.
Transparencies Use only Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS Transparencies A4 or
Letter.
