FAQs
Can I use any type of paper in the press?
It is best to use standard newspaper or scrap paper. Avoid using glossy magazines or coated papers, as the chemicals in the inks and coatings may not be suitable for burning.
How long do the briquettes take to dry?
Drying time depends on humidity and temperature, but generally, it takes several days for briquettes to dry completely through to the center.
Does the press require assembly?
No, the press comes ready to use out of the box.
What should I do if my local area bans burning paper?
If burning paper briquettes is not permitted in your area, you can still use the press to create compact paper blocks for more efficient recycling storage and transport.
Is the press portable?
Yes, the sturdy steel construction is compact enough to be moved easily, though it has some weight due to the steel build.
Troubleshooting
The press feels difficult to push down.
Ensure you are not overfilling the mold. Remove a portion of the soaked paper and try again.
The briquettes are falling apart after pressing.
Ensure the paper is sufficiently soaked and pulped before compression; if the paper is too dry, it will not bind properly.
Signs of rust appearing on the unit.
Thoroughly dry the unit after every use and consider a light coating of machine oil on the metal parts if stored in a humid environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Relaxdays Paper Press comes pre-assembled for immediate use. No complex setup or installation is required—simply find a flat, stable work surface where you can manage the water runoff that occurs during the pressing process. Because the tool is made of steel, it is important to wipe down the unit after use to remove excess moisture and prevent rust. Store the press in a dry location when not in use to ensure longevity. Always check your local fire safety and environmental regulations before utilizing processed paper briquettes in your stove or fireplace to ensure compliance with emission standards.
