Environmental Impact Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to
the environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film
with less impact on the environment than if you were using wet-developed
silver halide films.
Storing and Handling Undeveloped Film To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film
package, DryView Laser Imaging Film must be stored in a cool, dry place
(41° to 77°F / 5° to 25°C) and protected from radiation and chemistry
fumes.
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. However, prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive
heat (130°F/54.4°C) for more than 3 hours, may cause some gradual
