WAVINESS/CURL/WARP OF PRINTED MATERIAL Printed materials are affected by changes in humidity and temperature. Prolifics’ printing facility is humidity and temperature controlled to minimize waviness, curl and/or warp. When printed material leave any controlled environment they will react to different humidity and temperature levels (higher or lower). Humidity and/or temperature changes will cause paper to absorb or lose moisture and at times result in waviness, curl and/or warp in the printed material
