Storage and Handling

For optimum results, store unexposed paper at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original package. You can store unexposed paper at 24°C (75°F) for up to 6 months and still achieve high-quality results. High temperatures or high humidity may produce unwanted changes.

To avoid moisture condensation on paper that has been refrigerated, allow it to warm up to room temperature before opening the package. For best results, remove the package from cold storage the day before you use it, or allow the paper to warm up for the appropriate time listed in the following table.

Handle paper carefully by the edges to avoid creases and fingerprints.
