One warning about the use of canned air:  if used improperly it will release
a liquid onto the film that is extremely difficult to remove.

Subject: was: cleaning negatives and slides (circa 1970)


Here are the responses to my query regarding cleaning negatives and slides:

1) Anti-Static cloth:

&A=details&Q=&sku=24592&is=REG&addedTroughType=search
 They can easily be purchased online and in photography/camera shops.
 2) We have a photographer on our staff with darkroom experience, and he
uses canned air to remove dust from negatives, slides and prints.  It's
about $60 per case, and that will go a long way. 

Thank you for your help.
