The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and operating temperatures.

    Maintaining the system Paper curl Before the manufacturer cuts paper into sheets, it is stored on large rolls. After it is cut and packaged, it retains some of the curl from the rollers. Although it is unnecessary to load paper with the curl facing up or down, best results occur when you are consistent.
