Moisture content
Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after
manufacture. It is one of the important characteristics of the
paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage
environment, although usually paper contains around 5% water
by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of
water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity
environment. When the amount of water increases, the
characteristic of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the
toner may become worse. For storage of the paper and during
use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding
environment is between 50 % and 60%.
