Import Tips
• Include emulsion curve data in entry docs to prove ortho sensitivity for graphic arts validation
• Store and ship at controlled humidity (<50% RH) to prevent fogging, which could lead to rejection as defective
• Declare base thickness (e.g
• 0.007 inch) for accurate flat film vs. plate distinction
