Paper Storage Guidelines
Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
•
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly
damaging to paper.
•
Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
•
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
•
Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect
moisture.
•
Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
•
Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
•
Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave
stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss
or gain.
•
Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until
you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.
