Quote :
“Film cans are generally manufactured from a stable plastic or metal, usually steel or aluminium. The can lid is often a tight fit but does not seal the can completely allowing a small degree of equilibrium between the external environment and the internal microclimate. Film cans have a buffering effect on the rate of change of the internal microclimate in relation to the storage conditions. Temperature is buffered less than relative humidity.”
To assure the safety and the integrity of your digital heritage,
the Kodak Gold disk and the STIL Case.
A truly predestined match!
This section will be a bit about who STIL is, where we came from, where we are going… and we will also make you discover about our beautiful city of Québec. You may already have had the chance to visit, maybe not, we will be taking you through the season, through the activities offered..pictures included! Have you ever seen a 20 foot snow bank? Have you ever seen the Château Frontenac illuminated at night? Etc..
