⚫
Store in cool, dark locations. Temperature must be below 27°C (80°F). Relative humidity
must be between 40% and 65%.
⚫
Avoid exposure to bright light or ultraviolet sources such as sunlight, fluorescent, and
similar lighting which causes yellowing of paper and fading of tracings.
⚫
AVOID CONTACT WITH: cleaning fluids and solvents such as alcohols, ketones, esters,
ether, etc.
⚫
DO NOT STORE THERMAL PAPER WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
✓
Carbon and carbonless forms.
✓
Non-thermal chart papers or any other products containing tributyl phosphate, dibutyl
phthalate, or any other organic solvents. Many medical and industrial charts contain
these chemicals.
✓
Document protectors, envelopes, and sheet separators containing polyvinyl chloride or
other vinyl chlorides.
⚫
DO NOT USE: mounting forms, pressure-sensitive tapes or labels containing solvent-
based adhesives.
To assure maximum trace image life, thermal paper should be stored separately in: manilla folders,
polyester, or polyimide protectors.
Plastic document protectors, envelopes, or sheet separators made of polystyrene, polypropylene, or
polyethylene will not degrade thermal traces in themselves. However, these materials afford no
protection against fading from external causes.
Paper manufacturers advise us that these thermal products should retain their traces when properly
imaged and stored for about 3-5 years.
If your retention requirements exceed these guidelines, we recommend you consider alternate image
storage techniques.
