Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room
temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it
absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to
evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air
conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used,
it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can
cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any
excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains
moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time
(about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture
