How long can Polaroid photographic paper be kept?

The shelf life of Polaroid photographic paper is two years. Polaroid photographic paper can still be used after it has expired. The consequences of using expired photographic paper depend on the situation. Different photographic papers have different effects after expiration, and the storage situation will also affect the effect of photographic papers. 8 years overdue, serious color cast, blue overall, uneven color and slow development. If it is overdue for more than 5 years, the development time is slightly longer and the color is slightly darker. There is basically no change within 3 years of maturity.

In the process of saving photos, if you want to save them for a longer time, you should pay attention to:

1. Don't put it in high temperature or strong light.

The most taboo of polaroid is high temperature! If stimulated by light and high temperature, the color of the photo will change. If you are not careful, the photos will become waste. Many people want to keep polaroid photos in plastic packaging, but this is impossible. The high temperature of plastic packaging will cause the photo to change color!

Buy photo album

Putting photos in an album will isolate oxygen and prevent moisture at the same time, which will greatly extend the preservation time of photos. If it is an extremely precious photo, you can remake it in time and save it, or you can scan and save the electronic version of the photo with a good quality scanner.

3. The newly bought photographic paper should also be properly stored, preferably in a fresh and clean place. Use the photo paper you bought home in time, and don't wait until it is about to expire, otherwise it will affect the imaging effect.

4. When unpacking the photo paper, don't open it, which will expose the photo paper. When Polaroid just comes home, don't take it out or open the back cover of the camera. After the first black guard is shot, there are still 10 photo sheets, and then open the camera back cover.

Of course, the choice of photographic paper is also very important. The photos taken by high-quality photographic paper are naturally beautiful and will last longer!

The above are some precautions for the preservation of Polaroid photo paper, hoping to help you keep the photos for a longer time.
