Before you purchase a large quantity of paper Make sure the paper is suitable for the printer. Paper for plain paper copies Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying.
Page 161 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.
