Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print
quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is
particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on
paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to
collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid having 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 them into the printer. Leave
stored paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper
contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable 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.
