To ensure the proper moisture content it is important to store the paper in a
controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:
F
Store paper in a cool, dry location.
F
Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap paper that is
not in use.
F

storage.
Envelopes and Postcards
When selecting envelopes and postcards, use the guidelines given below.
Envelopes
An envelope is a more complex objects than a single sheet of paper. For this
reason, it may not be possible to obtain consistent printing quality over the entire
envelope surface Use the following guidelines to select the proper envelopes.
F
Envelopes should have the basis weight of 70 to 100g/m
2
(19 to 27 lbs/
ream) and up to 4 plies of the paper that is used to construct the paper
including all flaps and overlaps.
F
Envelopes should have sharply-creased folds and accurately joined
corner edges.
F
Envelopes should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Envelopes that are
too smooth, however, can give an adverse effect to the drum and fuser
units inside the printer.
F
Envelopes should have a straight grain orientation.
F
Envelopes should have a pulp content of at least 80%, and should have a
moisture content of 4 to 6%.
