Storing computer paper [off-topic]
I am in the UK.
Sounds silly but I am looking for a good way to store my A4 computer paper. I have got several reams of different types of paper. However at any one time I might need only a few sheets of one type such as high quality letter paper. (a) I could store the still-wrapped reams ontop of one another but then I end up crumpling the sheets when I try and slide them out. (b) I could put the wrapped reams into stacking letter trays like this http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/pictu...T1BE_sk_lg.jpg However, after a week or two the paper gets dusty and needs dusting down. Ugghhh. (c) I have seen offices use similar trays to (b) but this time they putt about 50 sheets of paper in each tray. (EG, they would have letterhead paper, follow-on sheets, plain sheets, etc). http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/pictu...0-be_sk_lg.jpg However, I am not using all me paper quite so fast so 50 sheets of a special type might sit there for ages. It sounds silly, but what is a good way to store paper? |

i used to have that problem, in the end i just used a normal letter
tray type thingy and put a very thin towel over the top. i suppose you could use anything similar, if it has a piccy of your favourite team/person animal on it as well you might not feel it looks so cheap :-) |

It sounds silly, but what is a good way to store paper? why not get a box file and put say 15 to 20 sheets of each type in it and keep it to hand near your comp. This will keep the paper dust and damp free. Put the remaining resealed reams somewhere warm and out of the way. |

Many printers can be temperamental when it comes to feeding paper that is damp, or dusty. I use a slightly bigger than A4 plastic storage box with a 'snap-on' lid. It stores a ream of 500 sheets easily. The Viking code is H2D-9LC. This is for the smaller one. Just search for "Really Useful Box" if you want the entire range. I checked the box out at http://snipurl.com/1547v. Still has a problem of easily getting sheets out from the lower reams. |

Many printers can be temperamental when it comes to feeding paper that is damp, or dusty. That is a classic engineers line, one that hasn't a clue how to fix a printer with a knackered feed system! I hear that all the time. They always turn up and then get on the phone to a friend asking what to do. It doesn't make any difference which way round or which way up you put standard paper either. If you have a cheap printer made by Brother or a Kyocera then it shows - especially when you get through 1000+ sheets per day. They don't last long but out of the two the Kyocera is slightly better. The network variety of course. |

The network variety of course. Damp paper cause it to curl when through a laser printer and can jam, whether the printer is an el-cheap or a heavy duty one, it is always wise to fan paper too as paper cut with poor / blunt blades can cause the edges to fur and the paper to stick. Also damp paper isn't ideal when printing with inkjets. Not usually a problem when in a dry warm country, but when in countries like the UK where it is often cold and damp then it is, worth wrapping any unused paper up in a couple of plastic carrier bags. -- 60 day free DVD rental: www.southeastbirmingham.co.uk/dvd Mobile Offers: www.southeastbirmingham.co.uk/payg Items for sale: www.dodgy-dealer.co.uk |
