What is the proper way to store this media?

Answer: Media should be stored at 35 to 65% relative humidity and a temperature of 50 to 85°F. Keep the product in it’s original packaging (cardboard box and PE bag).

3162 Vision Physical Properties:

Roll Storage

It may sound silly, but the storage of media, especially media that you don’t use everyday, is very important. It is best to keep media inside the bag and the box it came in when not in use. This helps protect the coating and material itself from temperature and humidity changes that can degrade the coating and warp the media.

The Truth About Optical Brightener (OBA)

There are more myths than truths floating around the industry about optical brighteners and their impact on archivability. OBAs are not inherently bad and the presence or lack of OBAs does not inherently make something archival or not. OBAs do create the appearance of higher whiteness and richer printed colors. If unprotected, this will dissipate (fade) over a long period of time. In the case of canvas, the “faded” result will be similar to the original color of the base canvas. If you use a liquid overcoat, this will protect the enhanced whiteness and significantly minimize the fading over time.
