    Storing unexposed sheet film

    Storing unexposed sheet film

    I wrap the box in plastic wrap, then put that in a zip-lock bag. I've also put loaded film holders (in zip locks) in the refrigerator, but not the freezer.

    Bure to allow warm-up time before you open them.

    Your problem was likely not temperature, but condensation. That's the reason for the plastic wrap and zip locks.

    I just leave it in the box, in a cool dark room e.g a cupboard. Same goes for loaded slides. BTW anyone know where I can get an as new or mint graphmatic going for a song?

    Storing unexposed sheet film

    You can put the film in the freezer, just remember to take it out long enought to thaw before you try using it. I have stored film and paper this way and have never had a problem. The baggies are a very good idea, just be sure to open them when you defrost so the condensation can escape. Pat
