Title: Paper storage
Post by: dkabat on November 26, 2007, 12:54:09 am

Need some guidance on storing unused sheet paper.  Live in Nevada so it is pretty dry all the time.  Wondering if storing paper in their original boxes in garage would hurt the paper.  The garage temp will range from probably low 40s in winter to low 90s in summer.

Thanks for your help.

Dan

Dan, I wouldn't store your paper in the garage. Extreme temperatures are not good for paper. Keep the paper inside and inside their plastic bags that the paper came in. This will reduce the up and down temperatures, as well as moisture going out (or in) the paper.

Thanks Andy, that's what I was afraid of.
