I neglected to get my paper order in the late spring, so I wonder if anyone has had problems with either paper or film fogging in the summer heat. Today in Phoenix it will somewhere between 113 and 116 F.

The transit time is very short, so I don't think it makes much difference. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago.

While temperatures here in Florida don't get quite that warm, I've never had any problems with it. I've got a box on my porch right now from Freestyle that will sit there all day in the heat until I get home (or the one or more of the neighborhood kids steals it) but I'm not worried about the heat. Much of my paper comes mail order these days as the local places don't stock much in the way of paper anymore and I've yet to see any problem.

Paul,

I have never had problems with it fogging. If it were to occur, I would think that the film would be the first affected.

Usually my orders from JandC take about three days or so and that is a relatively short amount of time. I freeze it as soon as it arrives.

Pretty toasty out, isn't it?
