Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper contributes to optimum print quality.

Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs is particularly damaging to paper items. Reduce the intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items as much as possible.

Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, and heat above 32°C (90°F).

Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than outside walls where moisture can collect.

Store paper flat on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

Avoid having 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 paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
