Printing and paper-storage environment
Ideally, the printing and paper-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too
dry or too humid. Remember 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...
