• In a controlled temperature. The temperature in the room
where paper is stored has a significant effect on how that
paper performs in the machine. Optimum paper storage
temperature is 68-76

F (20-24.4

Materials Usage Guide.
Cutting and trimming paper
Proper cutting of the paper is important. Mills that offer paper in
“cut sizes” crop their papers using state-of-the-art rotary slitters on
high performance systems. Slitting and edge trimming by circular
knives with dust removal at every cutting point prevents
contamination of the paper.
Trimming papers from parent sheets to get the desired output size
may generate dust if dull knives are used. The recommendation is
to delay trimming until printing has been finalized to prevent paper
dust generation and contamination.
If pre-printing is imperative, an in-house maintenance program,
including knife sharpness maintenance and dust removal with a
vacuum or air system, are key to achieving good results.
