before printing paper storage

2003-08-06 by kchriste

I've searched the archive for 'paper storage' and 'storage' and 'paper
storage box' and only found articles about post-printing storage --
'archival' storage of finished prints.

I'm wondering about what folks use to store their paper while it's
waiting to go into the printer. I find the cardboard envelopes and
plastic wrappers fairly inconvenient ( I don't print enough to warrant
buying in boxes, although I imagine that in the boxes there's still
the plastic wrapper, isn't there?). 

I'm working in a fairly cool / humid environment, namely my basement.
I don't like to just stack the unused paper on the counter, or leave
it in the printer, it seems like it must come packaged in that
resealable plastic for a reason, eh?

I am leaning towards Tupperware (tm) or similar, tight fitting covers
on plastic containers. Or maybe I'm just imagining a problem where
there isn't one?

What, if anything, are the rest of you doing?

(BTW, thanks for all your help. I've been lurking here about three
months and have learned a lot.)
