Paper Storage Guidelines
Storing your 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. Store unused media at temperatures
between 59
°
F and 86
°
F (15
°
C to 30
°
C). The relative humidity should be between between 10%
and 70%.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to
collect moisture. Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper
jams and poor print quality.
• 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 printer. 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.
