12 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Storing Paper
Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and
paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper:
❏ Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity.
❏ Do not store paper directly on the floor as the floor is usually humid.
❏ If you must store paper in a very humid place, use a specially designed
storage box.
❏ Keep paper on a flat surface to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl.
❏ Do not stack paper too high to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl.
❏ Do not subject paper to direct sunlight or a humid environment.
If paper is moved to a place with a very different temperature, leave it
there for about one day before using it; otherwise it could curl or develop
wrinkles.
