Hi, I am purchasing a Canon ProGraf 4100, 4600 I live in the south. The printer will be in a shed with no climate control other than vents. It gets humid here however the paper will be in a controlled enviorment. This will be ok? Has anyone here had a simular experience with this??? I would love to hear from those who had simular experience

Greetings,

Many of Canon's professional printers have settings for printing in humid environments. I'm not sure you will have control of this if the printer lives in a humid environment and your paper lives somewhere else. Extreme temperature variation / climate extremes might cause excessive condensation. What about a swamp cooler?

Would it be fair to say that the humid printing function means paper and printer needs same environment. In other words store both in same place? I thought it better to keep paper out of the humidity?
