Extreme Weather Emulsion Buying

Extreme temperatures can ruin your emulsion before it ever hits a screen. In winter, shipping trucks and warehouses can reach freezing levels, causing emulsion to gel or separate. In summer, the opposite problem occurs—heat in transit can cook your emulsion and shorten its shelf life. 

The simple fix is to stock up before the temperature swings hit, keeping enough on hand to last through extreme seasons. Maintaining a small seasonal buffer ensures your darkroom stays productive no matter the weather outside.
