Print Media Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print
quality.
❏ Store print media in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are 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 attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing print media.
❏ Store print media flat. Print media should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
❏ Avoid having food or drinks in the area where print media is stored or handled.
❏ Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave 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.
❏ Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and
reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.
