FAQ: Copy Paper Usage, Storage & Handling
How should I store copy paper?
Store your paper in a cool, dry place, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Moisture can cause the sheets to curl or stick together, leading to paper jams and uneven printing.
Should I open reams before I need them?
Keep reams sealed until just before use. The wrapper helps maintain the paper’s moisture balance and prevents edge damage.
What’s the best way to prepare paper before loading it into a printer?
Gently fan the sheets to separate them before loading, this helps prevent multiple sheets from feeding at once.
Can I use heavier paper in any printer?
Check your printer’s specifications. Most printers handle up to 100gsm easily, but heavier options (210gsm or 250gsm) may require manual feed or a straight-path tray.
How long can I store paper?
If kept in a stable, dry environment, paper can last for several years without losing print quality. Avoid damp or fluctuating temperatures to prevent yellowing or curling.
