Hi Jeffery,
That's why I have a dedicated humidifier and a cute little digital readout
hygrometer.
Even better, in the winter, turn off the humidifier when it is 15 degrees
outside and watch how quickly the humidity in your whole house drops!
My thought on thicker paper was that it might take a bit longer for the
humidity to raise or lower. My guess is that different papers will take more or
less moisture depending on their makeup. I know when I wear more makeup,
especially eye shadow, it seems to seal in the moisture.
