Static is a major problem in our operation- it causes the paper to double feed and results in paper jams. At what humidity does static becomes a problem?

Pressrooms and binderies with a relative humidity of 35% or lower are likely to see static build up on machines handling paper. Pressrooms and binderies should maintain a relative humidity of 45%-55% to avoid static build up on machines handling paper. Control of the relative humidity is achieved with humidification during dry periods and dehumidification with air conditioning during humid periods.
