- Keep the paper fibre direction (// of the large size) perpendicular to the printing direction.
- For grammages > 135gsm, plan a rejection cut.

Storage Recommendations

Maintaining the proper relative humidity of the paper is essential.
However, during transport from wholesale to user, temperature differences can arise. The paper must then be gradually acclimatized to the temperature in the processing space.
To maintain the proper Rh of the paper between printing, finishing and storage, the material must be covered with a pallet cover.

The paper can best be stacked on the pallet in protective packaging. Also, the paper must not be near an outer wall, in the draft, in the sun or near a heating element.
