APPENDIX A - 7
Moisture content
Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important
characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although
usually paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of
water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water
increases, the characteristic of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse.
For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding
environment is between 50% and 60%.
