Until the early '80's the archival stability of so to speak "coupler-incorporated films" (mainly E-3, E-4 and some E-6 films) was not very good.<BR><BR> 2. After the introduction of Fujichrome Professional E-6 films in 1983 (just a little over 10 years ago) the archival stability of Fujichrome films was improved substantially.<BR><BR> 3. In both dark and dry storage conditions, we believe you probably will not see any hint of fading even after 50 years.<BR><BR> 4. You should avoid high humidity storage conditions because the deterioration of the dyes can be significantly accelerated depending on the humidity level.<BR><BR> 5. The bottom line is that if you keep Fujichrome E-6 films in dry conditions, there is no need to worry very much about the archival stability. Of course you should also be aware of temperature, light, harmful gasses and the ventilation of the storage area.<BR><BR><BR></FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <!-- end text_module_1 - --> <!-- spacer_module_2 - --> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="1" ROWSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="10"> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="10" COLSPAN="1" ROWSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <!-- END spacer_module_2 - --> <!-- link_module_4 - --> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="1" ROWSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT=""> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="1" ROWSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <IMG SRC="/images/bullet.gif" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0" ALT="Bullet"> </TD> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="1" ROWSPAN="1" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <A HREF="/home/faqsfact/proidxfq.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="times"> Back to Professional Photography FAQ Index<BR><BR><BR><BR></FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <!-- end link_module_4 - --> <!-- faq_fact_footer_module - --> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="442" HEIGHT=""> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </TD> <TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <A HREF="/home/home.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">Fujifilm Home</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/corp/corp.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">Corporate Center</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/service/info.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">Service & Software</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/faqsfact/learn.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">FAQs & Facts</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/press/press.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times"> Press Releases</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/help/help.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">Smart Site Help</FONT></A><BR> <A HREF="/cgi-bin/asg.pl" TARGET="_top"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times"> Activate SmartGuide</FONT> </A> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="" HEIGHT="10" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </TD> <TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <A HREF="/home/faqsfact/learn.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">FAQ's and Facts Home</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/faqsfact/faq.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">FAQ's</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/faqsfact/tips.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">Tips, Tricks, & Guides</FONT> </A> | <A HREF="/home/faqsfact/pdfidx.htm" TARGET="_self"> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#00c600" FACE="times">PDF Downloads</FONT> </A> </TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="" HEIGHT="35" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" COLSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="" HEIGHT="32" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </TD> <TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="410" HEIGHT="" COLSPAN="" ROWSPAN="" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="times"> ©1997, 1998 Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc.</FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> <!-- end faq_fact_footer_module - --> - --------------2B2523107B9CCD074901FFDF--
