Media Storage Environment

Depending on the type of transfer paper, if it is stored in a humid environment for a long time, the coating of
the paper may degrade and affect print quality. (In most cases, once the coating degrades, it will not return
to its original condition.) Avoid storing transfer paper in humid environments.
Read the precautions regarding your media carefully, and store it in an appropriate environment. For details,
contact your media supplier.
