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 coldcauses it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity froma room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather orwater coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs anyexcess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can becomedistorted. 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). Paperstored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning isimportant to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages ofpaper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proofbarrier.
