How should I store my film?
All films should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and in the box they were shipped in, if possible. Also, consider using and first-in, first-out inventory system. Nylon should always be stored in the silver wrapper it came in this helps maintain its inherent non-curl properties. Typically, summertime presents additional storage considerations which must be addressed. The higher humidity in certain regions of the United States will require you to maintain the packaging as received from D&K. This would involve re-bagging any partial rolls to minimize the humiditys effect on film. Another situation to be aware of involved the exposure of film to chemicals. Polypropylene has good resistance to chemicals polyester and nylon do not. If these films have to be exposed to such an environment, it would be best for polyester and nylon to be situated as far from the chemical source as possible. The polypropylene may be stored closer to the chemical source with the proper bagging of any partial rolls.
