Tips for Storing Paper  The environment in which paper is stored and the manner in which it is handled directly affects its performance. Paper responds to moisture and temperature fluctuations of its environment. A controlled environment guarantees that the paper's electrostatic properties remain constant, resulting in consistent, quality performance print after print. GP wraps the paper rolls as soon as possible, to maintain the moisture content at which the paper was manufactured and to protect it from damage. All Georgia-Pacific reams are wrapped to keep paper at its peak performance. Here are some tips for handling and storing your paper:
| • |
Store paper in a place that replicates the environment of a copy room; avoid storing in locations that are damp or not heated. |
| • |
Keep paper away from heating pipes and overhead water pipes. |
| • |
Never store paper in direct sunlight or near windows and exterior doorways. |
| • |
Maintain a controlled temperature in your home during weekends and holidays. |
| • |
Use pallets or cabinets for storing rather than concrete floors. |
| • |
Store paper cartons flat to avoid damaged ends. |
| • |
Avoid stacking paper so high that bottom sheets are compressed. |
| • |
Provide adequate space for paper storage to minimize damaged stock. |
| • |
Be careful not to drop the paper cartons. |
| • |
Use your oldest stock first; mark the purchase or receipt date on the wrapper or label. |
| • |
Don't open cartons or reams until the paper is ready to be used. |
| • |
Re-seal all open reams and cartons. |
| • |
Keep paper labels to identify stock until it is used. |
Tips for Selecting Paper
 Understanding how to select the best paper for your printing needs is the key to making any project stand out. For optimum results, select the appropriate paper for the type of printer you are using, e.g., laser paper for a laser printers or ink jet paper for an ink jet printers. Whether you're printing presentation or everyday documents, Georgia-Pacific wants you to look smart on paper!
Presentation Documents
| • |
To improve color image impact and text legibility, select a paper with a higher brightness for your brochures, proposals and reports. Choosing a white paper with 90 brightness or better will enhance the sharpness and color contrast in any presentation document. GP Professional Bright White Ink Jet Paper's high brightness of 108 is ideal for presentation quality documents that use color. |
| • |
Heavier papers (at least 24 lb.) will stand up to handling, mounting on boards and repeated use better than 20 lb. paper. GP Professional Laser & Color Copy paper's 28 lb. sheet weight provides a durable surface for multiple page reports that experience high traffic. |

Everyday Documents
| • |
Typical everyday documents including memos, emails, photocopies and drafts require a work duty paper. GP Copy Paper (84/20lb) is a great choice for managing everyday printing tasks. |
| • |
GP Multi-Purpose Paper (90/20lb) will accomplish the same task with a multi-function printer or ink jet printer. Ink jet printing technology can print color and black and white images, and is economical for low-volume printing experienced in multi-function machines. |
| • |
GP Colors! is a simple way to add impact to everyday documents. When using colored paper, chose a color that is appropriate for the content of the document. For example, GP Canary or Gold Colors will suggest urgency more effectively than GP Blue or Pink Colors. |
