Appendix A – Maintenance: Storing Paper<br />
Storing Paper<br />
Thermal Paper<br />
To avoid deterioration or fading of traces follow these<br />
precautions.<br />
1. Store in cool, dark, and dry locations. Temperature<br />
must be below 80°F (27°C). Relative humidity must be<br />
between 40% and 65%.<br />
2. Avoid exposure to bright light or ultraviolet sources<br />
such as sunlight, fluorescent, and similar lighting<br />
which causes yellowing of paper and fading of tracings.<br />
3. Do NOT store thermal papers with any of the following:<br />
u carbon and carbonless forms.<br />
u non-thermal chart papers or any other products<br />
containing tributyl phosphate, dibutyl phthalate,<br />
or any other organic solvents. Many medical and<br />
industrial charts contain these chemicals.<br />
u document protectors, envelopes, and sheet<br />
separators containing polyvinyl chloride or other<br />
vinyl chlorides.<br />
4. Avoid contact with: cleaning fluids and solvents such as<br />
alcohols, ketones, esters, ether, etc.<br />
5. Do NOT use: mounting forms, pressure-sensitive tapes,<br />
or labels containing solvent-based adhesives.<br />
To assure maximum image life, thermal paper should be<br />
stored separately in:<br />
n manila folders<br />
polyester or polyimide protectors.<br />
n<br />
Plastic document protectors, envelopes, or sheet separators<br />
made of polystyrene, polypropylene, or polyethylene will<br />
not degrade thermal traces in themselves. However, these<br />
materials afford no protection against fading from external<br />
causes.<br />
Use only mounting forms and pressure-sensitive tapes<br />
made with starch or water-based adhesives.<br />
Paper manufacturers advise us that these thermal products<br />
should retain their traces when properly imaged and stored<br />
for about 3 - 5 years. If your retention requirements exceed<br />
these guidelines, we recommend you consider alternate<br />
image storage techniques.<br />
