Just increase the humidity of the drying environment and the film will curl less. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

May not work with the short strips, but what I do is, when the roll is returned form the lab, hang the uncut film inside a tall cupboard door with a couple of film drying clips until it straightens - usually just a few hours. Maybe putting the strips in a negative filing sheet and compressing between two(or more) very heavy books will help?

Hi Dan, I get my film back this way often, (especially for sets of night shots), they curl like blazes, just slide the strips into a neg holder sheet, place it in a fairly full folder for a couple of days and hey presto flat strips :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 Fax +61-2-9554-9259 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

- Original Message - If I soak the strips in water, will they straighten out? If not, do you have any suggestions? From: "John Coyle" May not work with the short strips, but what I do is, when the roll is returned form the lab, hang the uncut film inside a tall cupboard door with a couple of film drying clips until it straightens - usually just a few hours. Maybe putting the strips in a negative filing sheet and compressing between two(or more) very heavy books will help? Thats what I would do at this point.
