A few words on rolling up films after drying:
Many customers have problems with our (and other) roll films curling up after drying.
This problem is usually caused by the humidity in the room where the films were dried being very low at the time of drying.
The simplest and oldest trick is as follows: pour a hand’s width of hot water into the bath, hang the films over it to dry, close the door – and wait.
After a few hours at the latest, the films are dry and hang beautifully flat.
In summer this usually works too, but in winter you should definitely give this method a try.
Alternatively, you could of course buy an expensive room humidifier....
Does anyone know any other tricks?

Hello Mirko,
We are aware of the issue.
Alternatively: Place a damp towel under the films and use hot water whilst they are drying.
A major drawback of room humidifiers is that the active units also release calcium carbonate into the water along with the mist, which in turn leads to 'dust'.
Kind regards,
Robert Vonk
