When your equipment starts to rust ;)
I don't have any technical references, but I think that anything over 65% is probably too much. Most facilities I have equipment in do not exceed that mark.
It isn't a *huge* issue (within reason) unless you have printers around and the inherent paper. Big lasers are notoriously finicky about humidity, which directly affects the paper quality.
If you are running lots of mag tape, humidity > 60 % starts to really increase tape and head wear. If new tape heads are part of your regular operating budget, I would keep the humidity < 50 %. Regards Marshall Eubanks
Otherwise, just keep it well below the dewpoint :-)
