How long can I store RC paper in the fridge (6 months ? 1 year ? 2-3 years ?)
I normally do 4-5 30x40cm enlargments and I have to by now a 50 sheets box, the small boxes (10 or 25 sheets) are no more availeable.
Thanks for your help

Ten years or more, but they will lose some contrast and some speed. None of which is a big problem with VC papers. Just expose a bit longer and add some contrast during printing.

If you use a freezer, put them in a plastic bag and let them thaw for a day. If you use a fridge, a couple of hours are sufficient.
