Storing paper

manufacturers reco mmend printing in a temperatur e range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F ) with relative h umidity
between 40 and 60%.
•Store paper in cartons when possible, on a pall et or shelf, rather than on the floor.
•Store individual packages on a flat surface.
•Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
