Dear Fellow Altists-

I'm not sure how it will work with Ziatypes, but I've stored POP
(Ammonium Pt/Pd) coated paper for several months with great results. I
simply place the paper in a light tight, airtight container with a
quantity of desiccant (I use silica gel). When I want to print, I
remove the paper and humidify it. This is based on the recommendations
of Mike Ware and Pradip Malde. It works.

Best,
Dan Donovan
