STORAGE AND HANDLING
CONDITIONS
Dyes used in the manufacture of thermally responsive papers react
with solvents and other compounds found in adhesives and direct
contact between them and thermal printing will destroy the printed
data over time. Follow the precautions listed below to avoid
adverse effects to the paper and/or to the tracings. Store paper
in cool and dry locations. Exposure over long periods to temperatures
over 93 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade) or to a relative
humidity over 60% can lighten the printed data. Also avoid exposing
to sunlight (UV light) or bright light, which may darken paper
and/or lighten tracings.
Also avoid storing
any thermal paper with the following elements:
- Papers containing organic solvents including, but not limited
to, tributyl phosphate
- and/or dibutyl phthalate;
- Carbon and/or carbonless forms;
- Products which contain PVC or other vinyl chloride such as,
but not only: document protectors, envelopes, binders, sheet
separators;
- Cleaning fluids and solvents such as alcohol, ketones, esters
and others;
- Products that contain solvent based adhesives such as, but
not limited to: mounting forms, pressure sensitive transparent
tapes or labels.
To maximize legibility
and archivability, store thermal charts separately, in a climate
controlled environment, using any of the following:
- Polyester Polymide Document/Sheet Protectors;
- Mounting Cards/Systems made with Water Based Adhesives;
The use of these storage/filing products will not provide complete
protection against fading from external contaminants.
IMAGE DURABILITY
Average archivability of this product is five (5) years, if stored
in accordance to the precautions listed above. If your retention/archivability
requirements of thermal records/charts exceed these guidelines,
the manufacturer recommends a suitable photocopy to be produced.
DISREGARD OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE THE BACKGROUND TO DARKEN
OR TRACING TO LIGHTEN.
