Supply Storage Guidelines
• Store supplies in the original package until you load them the embosser.
• Keep the original packaging closed.
• The indent ribbon and topping foil maintain their quality for about one year.
For optimum card quality, purchase and store quantities that can be used
within one year.
• The indent ribbon, topping foil, and card stock might require secure storage
and tracking. Follow your policy for storing and tracking the supplies used to
make cards.
• Choose a location away from direct sunlight, with a temperature between 32°
and 77° F (0° and 25° C). A humidity range from 40% to 60% non-condensing
is recommended.
• Supply rolls should be at room temperature when installed in the embosser. If
supplies are stored in an environment that is cooler than the system
environment, allow supplies to reach room temperature before using.
• Supply rolls should be installed into the system within 24 hours of being
unpacked.
• If the system will not be used for an extended period, remove supplies from
the embosser and store them with new supplies.
• Supplies for the system may be an audited item. Check with your system
administrator to follow company policies regarding financial instant issuance.
