FUJICOLOR PRO 160 NS PROFESSIONAL • FUJIFILM PRODUCT INFORMATION BULLETIN••When removing film stored at low temperatures (ina refrigerator or freezer, etc.), allow it to reach roomtemperature before opening it. Opening film while it isstill cold may cause condensation to form on the filmsurface, causing color changes or the emulsion tobecome more susceptible to scratches.••Roll film should be loaded and unloaded quickly andaway from direct sunlight.••Film loaded in cameras should be exposed andprocessed promptly.••Sheet film must be handled in total darkness and withcare so as not to touch the emulsion surface.••X-rays inspection machines used to inspect checkedin baggage at airports can cause fogging of film.Put both exposed and unexposed film into carry-onbaggage (preferably in a transparent plastic bag or anet bag that allows the film to be seen). Because ofthe increasing number of airports using strong X-raymachines for carry-on baggage, it is recommendedthat you remove film from your carry-on baggage andrequest a visual (manual) inspection of your film.••Film fogging may occur near X-ray equipment usedin hospitals, factories, laboratories and other placeswhere radiation is used. Always keep film away fromsources of radiation.STORAGEStoring exposed or unexposed film under hot andhumid conditions may adversely affect the speed, colorbalance and physical properties of the film. Although itis best to store film at a low temperature, for practicalpurposes, film should be stored as follows:Short-termStorageLong-termStorageStore at a place (cool and dark)away from direct sunlight or hightemperatures and humidity.Store at 10°C (50°F) or below••New building materials, newly manufactured furniture,paints and bonding agents may produce gases whichcould affect photographic film. Do not store film,lightproof boxes containing film or cameras or filmholders loaded with film near these materials.••Film should be sealed in plastic bags* prior to coldstorage When taken out of cold storage, film shouldbe allowed to reach room temperature before openingby letting it stand over 3 hours (for refrigerated film) orover 6 hours (for frozen film).* Polyester, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.10. CONTROL STRIPSUse FUJICOLOR NEGATIVE FILM CONTROL STRIPSto manage processing performance.11. PROCESSED FILM HANDLING AND STORAGESince the purpose of film is to provide a long-termrecord of memorable events, as much effort as possiblehas been made to use materials that exhibit the leastamount of change over time, but the effects of light,heat, atmospheric oxygen, contaminant gases, humidityand mold cannot be completely avoided. It is possible,however, to minimize change in the photographic imageor base material by maintaining appropriate storageconditions, such as those used by museums and artgalleries. Temperature and humidity control is the mostimportant key to minimizing the change that occursin film. Films stored in the dark under the followingconditions may be expected to show almost no changeover time.Storage Period withAlmost No ChangeTemperatureRelative HumidityMore than 20 years Below 10°C 30%–50%10–20 years Below 25°C 30%–50%(1) Color negative film should be inserted into sleeves forstorage. Furthermore, it is recommended that film, aswell as prints, be placed into non-airtight* containersmade of paper, plastic**, or metal designed for thestorage of photographs.* To prevent film base (especially TAC base) decomposition,it is essential that the container or case be allowed to airout during one dry day each year.** Polyester, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.(2) Processed film should be stored at a place as faraway as possible from high temperatures, directsunlight and other strong light. The followingconditions are not desirable for the storage of filmand should be avoided in the case of long-termstorage:{••Storage in a closet lying against a wallthat is exposed to cold, outside air (wherecondensation may form).••Storage in an attic or on top of a closet orcabinet near the ceiling (where high temperaturesmay form).9. PROCESSINGThis film is designed for processing by Process C-41or its equivalent, as wells as Fujifilm Process CN-16.- 3 -

TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED INFUJICOLOR PRO 160 NS PROFESIONAL15-1 Super Nano-Structured Σ Grain TechnologySuper Nano-Structured ∑ Grain Technology providesnano-scale control over silver halide crystals, enhancingthe efficiency at which photoelectrons are gatheredinto the sensitivity nuclei during exposure. The result isfiner grain and higher speeds. Through this technology,FUJICOLOR PRO 160 NS PROFESSIONAL is able toboast better grain quality, higher sharpness and moresmoothly continuous tones than the current NPS, evenwith the same film speed.15-3 Super Efficient Coupler TechnologyThrough the incorporation of new, high-color-generationyellow couplers, this film has realized thinner layers andhigher sharpness.15-4 Super Efficient Light Control TechnologyThe cutting of unnecessary reflected light by a newlight-absorbing agent has enabled this film to enjoysuppressed color blurring and increased sharpness.15-2 Super Efficient DIR Coupler TechnologySuper Efficient DIR Coupler Technology has enabledthe free control of the interlayer effect, resulting in evenbetter color reproduction than that of the current film, aswell as an edge-effect-enhanced sharpness.16.
