Paper / Media Storage Guidelines

Storing paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.

• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.

• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.

• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

• Avoid storing paper in locations that are damp or collect moisture.

• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

• Avoid 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 the paper into the trays. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

• Some special 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.
