Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum printquality.
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and
visible light. Ultraviolet light, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to
paper.
The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper should be reduced as much as possible.
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 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 stored paper
in the original packaging. The paper wrapper usually contains an inner lining that protects the paper from
moisture loss or gain.
Some specialty 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.
