STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store unexposed material at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. High temperatures or high humidity may produce unwanted quality changes.
To avoid moisture condensation on material that has been refrigerated, allow it to completely warm up to room temperature before opening the package. For best results, remove the material from cold storage the day before printing, or use the

These times are based on a single package, positioned to allow free air circulation. After you remove the material you need,
Handle these materials very carefully by the edges to avoid creases and fingerprints. The materials are extremely sensitive to light; store and transport them in lighttight boxes.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight; handle unprocessed material in total darkness. Be sure that your darkroom is lighttight. Eliminate stray light from the enlarger head, repro camera lamps, timers, digital displays, etc.; even indicator lights and fluorescent tape can fog the material.
EXPOSURE
Expose the material from originals such as

Because exposure times and filtration will differ with the equipment, the light source, the original, your process control, etc., use the tables only as a guide.
To maintain high image quality, control flare as much as possible. Flare consists of stray ambient light and scattered image light that might reach the material during exposure. Follow these procedures to control flare:
•Keep the lenses, mirrors, filters, and copyboard glass clean and free of scratches.
•Keep the interior of the camera clean.
•Use the additive or
•Adjust the copyboard lights and room lights so that neither the lights nor reflections from the copyboard glass fall on the camera lens.
•Mask the areas surrounding the original with black material.
