Wausau: Acclimate the paper post-press. If a sheet has been excessively dried out, it will become brittle. As a result, the fibers will be crisp and tend to crack and separate. The moisture will come back eventually, even if you do not want it to. When it does, the paper will grow. So, let the paper acclimate for a couple of days (at least hours) prior to binding, folding, shrink-wrapping, etc. If paper is to be stored between processes in less-than-ideal conditions, cover the paper with plastic bags to help control the moisture pick-up or loss.IPG
