STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store unexposed film at 21
°C (70°F) or lower in the original 
sealed package. For extended periods, store film at 
13
°C (55°F) to preserve consistency.
To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been 
refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature 
before opening the package. Typical warm-up times are 
given in the table below.
Load and unload roll-film cameras in subdued light. Total 
darkness is required when you load and unload sheet film 
holders.
Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect 
negatives from strong light, and store them in a cool, dry 
place. For long-term storage, keep negatives at a temperature 
between 2
°C (35°F) and 13°C (55°F) and at a relative 
humidity between 30 and 35 percent.
Note: High speed films, such as PORTRA 800 Film, are 
sensitive to environmental radiation. Expose and process this 
film promptly. As exposure to radiation is cumulative, you 
may want to request visual inspection of PORTRA 800 film 
at airport and other security x-ray inspection stations.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total 
darkness.
