Conditioning paper to the printing
environment
When paper is moved from a storage area to a print room, it must be conditioned to the print
room temperature before it is used.
Conditioning means allowing the paper to stand, unopened, in the print room until its
temperature matches the temperature of the print room.
Note
Properly conditioning paper is the most important thing you can do to improve paper
handling.
Jamming, due to paper curl, and degraded image quality, due to paper expansion, are common
problems when paper is not adequately conditioned.
The times in the following table should be considered minimum conditioning times and must be
followed to obtain optimum performance.
Conditioning can be accelerated by removing the reams from the cartons - but never open the
reams until you are ready to print.
