Media Storage Guidelines

Media Storage Guidelines

Follow these media storage guidelines for optimal print output.
  • Store media in a clean, dry, cool, dark area.
    Direct thermal media is chemically treated to be heat-sensitive. Exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources may damage the media.
  • Do NOT store media with chemicals or cleaning products.
  • Leave media in its protective packaging and remove the packaging only before use.
  • Many media types and label adhesives have a shelf life or expiration date. Always use the oldest viable (non-expired) media first.
