For  best results, store print  media in an environment  where the temperature  is approximately  21°C  (70°F) and  the
relative  humidity is 40%.
Store cartons of print  media on a  pallet  or shelf, rather than  directly on the floor.
If  you store individual packages  of print  media out of the original carton, ensure that  they rest  on a  flat surface so
