Check Your Letterhead in Your Laser Printer

Before you spend a bundle on fancy letterhead, make sure it will work in your laser printer. Fancy extras like embossing or metallic inks may look great, but they may not work right with some laser printers. For instance, most laser printers will "flatten out" the embossing on most letterhead, and dirty ink marks will show up on the high spots of the letterhead. In other printers, metallic inks and the high temperatures generated by a laser printer do not match. Talk to your printer and see if they can provide samples of similar letterhead you can test before you spend the money to print your order.
