The film can withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 95°F/35°C) for several hours during transit without any significant effect on film quality or performance. Transit temperatures above 95°F/35°C will gradually diminish shelf life. If the AIQC encounters film that has been damaged by improper handling, the AIQC will automatically alert system operators.

Handling Developed Film Handling DryView Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity and other moisture typically have no significant effect on developed films.
