Coordinate printing requirements early with the Records Management and Printing Divisions. Request quality based on the use of the form. Use paper stock that is available on contract to state printshops, normally 20 pound white stock or carbonless paper stock. Forms will be printed in black ink only. Black ink is the most economical and produces legible negatives for microfilming or other media duplication.
Justification is required for the use of any color ink other than black.
Print on both sides of paper, where practical. Avoid the use of artwork and logos. Condense the form's text as much as possible. Avoid printing an excessive number of copies. However, it is more economical to provide for a small overprinting than an underprinting since reprints are expensive.
