Handling and Storing Prints and Transparencies
The image stability of thermal prints depends on factors such as
temperature, relative humidity, and exposure to light or to biological or
chemical contaminates. Using XtraLife ribbon increases print shelf life.
Your thermal images will last a long time if you handle and store them as
described below.
•
Handle prints as little as possible. When handling prints, make sure
your hands are clean and free of food, oil, and grease. Wear clean
gloves when possible, and hold prints by the edges.
•
Store thermal prints and transparencies in a cool, dry environment free
of chemical contamination.
•
Avoid storing prints at temperatures higher than 72˚F (25˚C) for
extended periods.
•
A relative humidity between 30% and 50% is ideal.
•
Avoid exposure to high-intensity light sources, particularly fluorescent
light and sunlight, which are rich in ultraviolet radiation.
•
Avoid exposure to vinyl items (those made of polyvinyl chloride [PVC])
or any plastic which contains plasticizer. These items usually have a
distinct "plastic" odor. If you use transparency sleeves, make sure that
they are not PVC-based.
